Standard SCSI hard drive configurations for the Compaq Professional Workstation
AP400 include a one-inch 4.3-GB 7200 rpm or 10,000 rpm hard drive, depending on the
model. Five drive bays are provided in the AP400, two are available to add drives. The
integrated Wide-Ultra SCSI controller (with an external Wide-Ultra SCSI connector)
supports external SCSI devices for users who require even more storage. The following
table describes the available hard drive configurations:

Today's three-dimensional graphic applications consume large amounts of memory
bandwidth. Consequently, the proliferation of 3D applications is increasing the need
for high-speed access to larger amounts of graphics memory. AGP is an industry
standard solution to improve the bandwidth between the graphics accelerator and the
system memory so that a portion of the 3D rendering data structures can be shifted into
main memory. The higher bandwidth of AGP (compared to PCI) also improves sharing
rendering tasks between the system processor and the graphics accelerator.
