The IBM IntelliStation M Pro 6218, a workstation using a dual-core Intel processor built from the ground up with server design teams and rigorous xSeries Server Proven testing, has been released for use primarily in tasks such as mechanical design, electronic design, drug discovery and digital content creation.
The new IntelliStation M Pro delivers new technologies including 64-bit dual-core Intel Pentium D and 8GB of maximum memory - double that of its predecessor, to help deliver to customers enhanced performance for demanding multi-tasking workloads. Combining this expanded memory with 64-bit processor technology and a 64-bit operating system, customers can achieve true 64-bit performance for their expanding datasets. These enhancements can improve the performance of CPU intensive applications such as Autodesk's 3ds Max by up to 39 percent.
The addition of server design team expertise to workstation development helps the new M Pro deliver the high level of reliability required as x86 workstations incorporate new high end capabilities including dual core, 64-bit technology and large memory addressability.
IntelliStation M Pro workstations are part of the IBM Express Portfolio, developed to meet the needs of start-ups, small-1 and mid-sized companies.
The IBM IntelliStation M Pro 6218 starts at $1,479. The new M Pro is available with Microsoft Windows XP Professional x64 and x32 edition pre-loaded and is certified for 32- and 64-bit versions of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3.0. The IntelliStation M Pro offers graphics options from multi-monitor capable 2D cards to extreme 3D from vendors ATI, Nvidia, and 3DLabs.
