Dual Memory Controllers
. .
. .
. .
The Compaq Professional Workstation 5100 uses dual memory controllers that can process
. .
memory requests in parallel, effectively increasing overall memory bandwidth. Other
. .
. .
workstations in the Windows NT / x86 market offer memory bandwidth of either 267 MB/second
. .
or 533 MB/second depending on the core logic chipset they use. The Compaq Professional
. .
. .
Workstation 5100 uses two memory controllers, each with memory bandwidth of 533 MB/second.
. .
Therefore, total memory bandwidth increases to 1.07GB/second: two to four times faster than
. .
. .
other systems.
