IBM Xeon, 3.6 GHz (13N0685) Processor Upgrade

This 3.6GHz Intel Xeon processor upgrade features an 800MHz front side bus and a 1MB L2 cache. It's compatible with the IBM xSeries servers. The 800MHz front-side bus speed increases system throughput by as much as 50% compared to legacy products and the 1MB L2 cache support provides the scalability to meet the changing needs of e-Business applications. Intel EM64T software readiness delivers greater application flexibility, with support for increased 64-bit memory addressability. PCI Express improves expanded bandwidth for storage and high-speed networking applications. DDR2 memory supports large memory sizes (up to 16GB) to enhance server overall performance, particularly in memory intensive applications. In order to maximize the performance gains of your IBM eServer xSeries server consider upgrading to a second Intel Xeon Processor. The incremental performance gains achieved by fully populating your DP processor-based server sometimes far outweigh the incremental costs.
