Overview

The purpose of this document is to provide guidance for users on how to optimally
configure the system memory in the ThinkStation P920 and P720 platforms in
order to provide the best performance.

Section 1 – Platform Memory Architecture

The launch of the Intel® Purely platform has brought with it some exciting
changes to the system architecture for memory as compared to previous
workstation platforms. Newly added features such as support for 6 channels of
memory (per CPU) and a higher top supported memory bus speed combine to
provide users with significantly improved memory performance in their
workstations. Both the ThinkStation P920 and ThinkStation P720 have been
designed to take advantage of these new architecture enhancements to the
memory subsystem.
