Now 8 Bbyte of memory on an Octane workstation

Mountain View 30 Nov 99 SGI has extended the maximum system memory capacity for its Octane visual workstations by introducing 2 GByte memory modules. The new memory modules can expand system memory up to a maximum of 8 GByte.

The new 2 Gbyte memory modules are four times the capacity of the largest existing workstation DIMMs, which store 512 Mbyte of memory. These larger 2 Gbyte memory modules give Octane customers increased power to handle bigger data sets for more accurate analysis in less time. Octane systems powered by these new DIMMs can more efficiently run memory-intensive applications in power 3D design, simulation, scientific modeling, digital prototyping, real-time simulators, medical diagnosis, satellite imaging and oil and gas exploration.

The new 2 Gbyte memory modules give R12000 processor-based Octane customers the flexibility to increase to 8 Gbyte of system memory without a time and resource-consuming box swap. This memory capacity advancement is the first step in a series of product improvements that will be available to SGI's Octane customers over the coming months.
