Today's digital video and graphics applications need a powerful platform that can deliver on demand. Rich in features and ready to perform, the Thunder i7525 (S2676) with PCI Express* represents an evolution in workstation technology. Using the Intel® E7525 chipset, and the latest Intel® Xeon® DP processors with 800MHz Front Side Bus (FSB), the Thunder i7525 also provides a PCI Express x16 slot for high-end video cards, support for up to 32GB of Registered DDR2-400 (PC2-3200) memory with ECC, Serial ATA RAID, 1394a FireWire, multi-channel audio, and PCIe-based Gigabit Ethernet port. In short, the Thunder i7525 not only performs on demand, it has capabilities to fit any range of workstation needs.
