SGI heeft een geheugen reepje met een capaciteit van 2Gig geïntroduceerd. Leg er 4 naast elkaar en je kunt je Silicon van maximaal 8Gb voorzien :
SGI (NYSE: SGI) today announced that it has extended the maximum system memory capacity for its IRIX® operating system-based Silicon Graphics® Octane® visual workstations by introducing the industry's first 2GB memory modules. The new memory modules can expand system memory up to a maximum of 8GB.The new 2GB memory modules are four times the capacity of the largest existing workstation DIMMs, which store 512MB of memory. These larger 2GB 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.
Ook leuk is de prijs: $18.000 (SGI weet trots te vertellen dat dit lager is dan de totale prijs van 4*512Mb DIMMs ).
