Newport Digital announces Memory for HP B1000, C3000, J5000, and J7000 Workstations
Tustin, CA -- September 15, 1999 -- Newport Digital announces 256MB, 512MB, and 1GB memory cards for the HP Visualize B1000, C3000, J5000, and J7000 systems. The memory consists of a single 278-pin proprietary Dual Inline Memory Module (DIMM). The memory subsystem of these new B-Class, C-Class, and J-Class systems provides low latency and high bandwidth. The peak memory bandwidth is 1.92 GB/sec. This peak memory bandwidth is roughly twice that of the older B-Class, C-Class, and J-Class workstations. The B1000, C3000, J5000, and J7000 use 125MHz synchronous drams (SDRAMs). SDRAMs allow faster access and cycle times than Fast Page (FP) or Extended Data Out (EDO) drams that are used on the older B-Class, C-Class, and J-Class workstations. The memory subsystem uses a novel clocking scheme that allows the SDRAMs to operate at 120MHz.
The B1000, C3000, and J5000 have eight DIMM slots on their respective motherboards. The J7000 has sixteen DIMM slots. The memory installs as individual DIMMs unlike the older B-Class, C-Class, and J-Class workstations that requires the memory to be installed in pairs. The maximum memory for the B1000, C3000, and J5000 is 4GB. The maximum memory for the J7000 is 8GB. HP-UX 10.20 has a hard limit of 3.75GB of addressable RAM. In order to address more than 3.75GB, the systems requires HP-UX 11.00.
Newport Digital memory has a lifetime warranty. Newport Digital provides documentation and support for installing memory in your HP workstation.
