Overview
The purpose of this document is to provide guidance for users on how to optimally
configure the system memory in the ThinkStation P520 and P520c platforms in
order to provide the best performance.
Section 1 – Platform Memory Architecture
The launch of the Intel Basin Falls platform brings with it some important updates
to the memory system architecture. The main new feature is a higher top
supported memory bus speed, which provides increased memory performance
and bandwidth. Both the ThinkStation P520 and P520c can take advantage of
this improvement, but each platform does so in a slightly different manner.
