Product Information
When you need fast multiprocessing, workstation performance and maximum expandability and scalability, choose the Compaq Professional Workstation 8000. Inside this workstation minitower is a breakthrough combination of innovative system architecture, large memory and storage capacity, and fast processor speeds. In fact, it packs more memory capacity (3GB!) than any other workstation in its class. It is ideal for running sophisticated simulations, rendering 3D animation, and performing complex scientific computations.

The Professional Workstation 8000 is engineered with the Highly Parallel System Architecture that enhances overall application performance, especially in demanding memory intensive applications, by increasing bandwidth available to all key subsystems, such as memory, disk and graphics. This architecture uses industry standard dual-memory controllers, dual-peer PCI buses, and optimized multiprocessing support.
