 DECpc 500XP Information & Specifications 
 

   Highlights
   o 60 MHz 64-bit Pentium(TM) processor
   o Up to 192 MB of RAM
   o 8 EISA slots
   o 8 drive bays
   
   The new applicationDEC 500xP gives you the power of the 
   64-bit Pentium processor in a hard-working high-capacity 
   server.
   
   The new applicationDEC 500xP teams the power of Intel's 
   new Pentium 64-bit PC processor with Digital's high-capacity 
   PC server architecture to bring a new level of performance to 
   multi-user, client/server, and networking applications. 
   
   Power Plus Capacity
   The Pentium processor significantly accelerates the 
   performance of all existing PC operating and networking 
   systems over today's 486 processors. And the Pentium 
   processor is the platform for future high-performance PC 
   software, including Windows NT . In the applicationDEC 
   500xP, with 8 EISA slots, 8 drive bays, and room for 192 MB 
   of RAM, the Pentium processor can drive any application 
   from a high-end workstation to a distributed processing 
   system for 64 or more users. The system's modular design 
   makes it easy to upgrade and expand, and its tower footprint 
   packs maximum capacity into minimum floor space. 
   
   Digital-Built
   And the applicationDEC 500xP gives you the extras you'd 
   expect in a server designed and built by Digital: a highly 
   integrated design that provides full functionality while 
   keeping option slots available; a heavy-duty power supply; 
   two cooling fans; multilevel security; and a rugged, well-
   built enclosure that provides easy access to drive bays and 
   slots. 
   
   Digital builds these systems under strict statistical process 
   control and rigorous testing to assure many years of 
   reliability. Which, when you need the power of the Pentium 
   processor, makes Digital the perfect choice.
