HP xw4300 Workstation

It’s all about choice. Single or dual coreiprocessor.

Microsoft®Windows®or Red Hat Linux®. 32- or 64-bits.

Professional 2D to High-end 3D graphics. The HP

xw4300 Workstation delivers the performance that

you need at the price you want.

An elegant combination of form and function, the

HP xw4300 brings you ground-breaking technology

in an award winning tool-less package. Offering great

flexibility, with a single or dual core processor and a

range of graphics, memory and storage choices, the

HP xw4300 meets the computing demands of engineers,

designers, scientists, and power users. ISV collaboration

and application certification coupled with the future-

proofing of 64-bit computing helps ensure a reliable,

compatible, high performing workstation that can

evolve with you and your business demands.

•Get cutting-edge technology at a PC-like price:

The Intel®955X Express chipset enables fast, dual

channel DDR2 667 MHz memory, PCI Express (PCIe)

x16 graphics and includes an integrated 4-channel

SATA 3 Gb/s controller with Native Command Queuing

(NCQ) and RAID 0/1/5/10 capability. Choose to add

a dual core Intel Pentium®D processor for multiprocessor

capability or up to a 3.8 GHz single core Intel Pentium

4 processor with a 2 MB L2 cache.

•Future-proof your business: The HP xw4300

supports Extended Memory 64-bit Technology (EM64T),

extending the address space to a maximum of 16 TB

virtual memory, allowing the design and manipulation

of huge data sets or models. An EM64T enabled

workstation should provide leading performance for

many 32-bit applications. Although not all 32-bit

applications may run as normal when you decide to

change to a 64-bit operating system, many will,

providing excellent flexibility. It is advised to pre-test

your applications by visiting Microsoft’s 64-bit 120 day

free trial before you order EM64T (www.microsoft.com/

windowsxp/64bit/evaluation/trial.mspx).

•Significantly increase bandwidth with PCIe: The next

generation of I/O interface increases bandwidth to 1

GB/s (unidirectional peak) and 2 GB/s (full duplex

peak) with the PCIe x4 slot or 250 MB/s (unidirectional

peak) and 500 MB/s (full duplex peak) with the PCIe

x1 slot. The PCIe x16 graphics card has 4x the

bandwidth of its AGP predecessor. With a dedicated

point-to-point interface, cards plugging into the interface

are not sharing data bandwidth with other cards.

•Expand your system with your needs: Integrate

numerous expansion options with the HP xw4300’s 2

internal hard drives (up to 4 drives using the optical

bays), up to 3 optical disks, optional floppy, 1 PCIe

x16 graphics slot, 1 PCIe x1 slot, 1 PCIe x4 (x8

connector) slot, and 3 PCI slots.

•Easily convert, access, and service your workstation:

The HP xw4300’s versatile chassis allows a minitower

or desktop configuration, and the award-winning, tool-

less design makes it easy to upgrade and maintain.

•Custom configure your workstation to your

technical requirements: HP Performance Tuning

Framework, available on HP Workstations with

Microsoft Windows, will guide your system setup,

allowing a "custom" configuration that tightly matches

the workstation-to-user requirements. This customization

facilitates configuring and optimizing the latest graphics

cards and drivers and removes some memory restraints.

i Not all customers or software applications will benefit from the use of a dual core processor. Compatible software including compatible operating system software, may be required to obtain the full benefit

of this technology

ii Intel EM64T requires a computer system with a processor, chipset, BIOS, operating system, device drivers and applications enabled for Intel EM64T. Processor will not operate (including 32-bit operation)

without an Intel EM64T-enabled BIOS. Performance will vary depending on your hardware and software configurations. See www.intel.com/info/em64t for more information including details on which

processors support Intel EM64T or consult with your system vendor for more information.

iii Intel processor numbers are not a measure of performance. Processor numbers differentiate features within each processor family, not across different processor families. See

www.intel.com/products/processor_number/ for details.

iv Hyper-Threading (HT) Technology requires a computer system with an Intel Pentium processor supporting HT Technology and an HT Technology enabled chipset, BIOS, and operating system. Performance

will vary depending on the specific hardware and software you use. See http://www.intel.com/info/hyperthreading/ for more information including details on which processors support HT Technology

v Hardware RAID is not supported on Linux systems. The Linux kernel, with built-in software RAID, provides excellent functionality and performance. It is a good alternative to hardware-based RAID. Please
