Hewlett-Packard (HP) so confident Workstation with its Z-Series. In fact, this manufacturer of the PC giant to put their products such as cars that sport the elegant BMW Z4.
Of these claims are not without reason. inspiration built Workstation Series Z are obtained from the German-made vehicle. This is not separated from the designers in the BMW Z Series Workstation birth.

Consequently, the ability Z Series also try blown 'spirit' in the BMW Z4 and the view outside. If the views of the design is very simple, but forceful in.

Design is to become one of Series Z to bust stigma rigid form of a computer. Surefire, HP is also important elements in the aesthetic design of this product.

The outside of the Z Series displays simple but elegant exterior aluminum layer inspired by automotive design and the BMW Group Designworks, USA.

"At the time of opening the door BMW Z4 and the latest addition to the panel HP Workstation latest Z, we will be equally shown that both the outside and hand in the two products have the strength of the powerful, estetik and innovative," said Verena Kloos, President of BMW Group Designworks , USA.

In the solid

Such as the BMW Z4 is powerful when used, Z Series Workstation also try to offer similar capabilities. This is included with the Xeon 5500 processor with integrated memory controllers and Turbo Boost Technology from Intel.


if your computer's memory should be 3 GB, then the turbo with this technology can be improved to be 3.3 GB.

From the third new product Z Series, Z800 devices is the most forceful of the two 'brother' the other, Z400 and Z600. Z800 storage capacity can be enlarged up to 7.5 terabyte, entered NVidia 5800 graphics card, memory and digeber up to 192 GB.

Wow, so how can be Reliability of this product. Not if one of Hollywood studios, such as Dreamworks, to use it to create the animation in the film Monsters vs. Aliens.
Pain is also not happy that HP also offers a device cooller for liquid cooling system. This is to further bolster the performance of the usually rare Workstation 'rest' after one day or many days to work.

But on the other hand, environmental factors are sometimes less support, such as office space AC is often turned off during working hours is completed. So, this is a liquid cooller try to be a solution. That is to replace the cooling system that is usually taken over by the fan to keep the performance Workstation.

Even so, if you choose not fan any problems. The interior of the Z Series is enough to create a smooth air flow. This is not separated from the design of the inside of the tool less, no need to use a screwdriver to disassemble components. All is neat as if already in place.

Do not need a screwdriver, no cable is barred. To upgrade is easy. The flow of air also causes the engine is not noisy. This product is 2 decibel lower than the previous HP Workstation product. So perfect for the music industry when the work needs silence.

But that is memorable because it was made good, then any user can not upgrade its own components in this product with a component in the free market. Consequently, it must be through HP authorized service center.

Stay 'Green'

Despite advanced technology, Z Series should remain as it also considers the environment has claimed power supply efficiency of 85% for Z400 and Z600, and 89% for Z800.

Indeed, with all the abilities that, Workstation is not intended for home users who use the computer for normal. This product is more on large companies or users who need a computer with a high computing capability.

As the Z400 for the purpose of video editing, Z600 for financial companies, while the Z800 for the Hospital and the oil and gas company. Rates start from U.S. $ 1500 up to the most vigorous over U.S. $ 5000.

Usually graphics card with Nvidia chipset along with the green PCB, but the graphics card Digital Alliance (DA) Geforce GTX 260 219SP Sonic, even using red PCB which is found in the range ATI Radeon graphics cards.
Show and graphics card specifications sangar DA GTX 260 is Nvidia product range that has great ability, provided with 216 stream processors (SP), video memory and 896MB of DDR3 memory interface is 448 bits, to make this graphics card can devour all the game time with maximum detail.

2 cooling fan with this effective enough heat and muffle noise is not classified, the temperature on the graphics card is idle only when conditions in the 60C range while when full load is around 73C, the temperature is quite cold for vga with a 625MHz core clock and memory clock 2200 MHz.

Performance

To test the ability of graphics card to try this with the DirectX 10-based applications, using the first test application of benchmark Futuremark 3D Vantage successfully pass with a score of P9623 (GPU Score).

While for the game, try Farcry2 with the results, with the ultra high level diresolusi 1440 X 900 graphics card is able to penetrate 38fps, whereas when using anti-aliasing is only 4X
reduced into 36fps.

Tests are done using systems with AMD Athlon X2 3Ghz, 2GB RAM and use Windows7 64bit build 7000. Testing of these graphics cards can be classmates DA GTX 260 216SP akan more if compared with the optimal system based QuadCore.

PhysX and CUDA

As the series Nvidia graphics card from the 8000 series supports PhysX and CUDA, to demonstrate the ability to try the demo from Nvidia PhysX namely Sneak Peak: Nurien Demo.

There are a few things confusing, the average fps of GTX 260 is obtained that is smaller compared to the Geforce 8800GT, the GTX 260 for 23fps and 24 fps for the Geforce 8800GT. Although the difference is not far, it is worth considering the Geforce 8800GT has a specification that is much lower than the GTX 260 216SP.

With Badaboom, Nvidia claims can switch the load to the GPU so the CPU can alleviate the performance of the processor. This can not be denied, when it tried to convert a video graphics card, the task manager shows 10-14% CPU usage, while the graphics card that does not support CUDA performance processors can reach 55%.


Testing results:
3DMark Vantage: P11427
Farcry2 Ultra High (1440X900): 37.57 fps
Farcry2 Ultra High (1440X900, 4X Anti-Aliasing): 36.01 fps


Sales package:
DA graphics card, with a hardcase shaped like a box ready to eat food Japanese style. While the content in a deluxe hardcase, there is a CD Drivers, Adapter 1x DVI, 1x HDMI, HDTV cable, VGA cable 6pin Power and a bonus game that is quite old Tomb Rider Aniversary.
