CX & CUDA™
@Xi® Computer, as one of the top Nvidia®
Quadro® supporter, we are proud to be
part of the introduction to this
revolutionary new line of Nvidia Video
cards using CUDATM
(Compute Unified Device Architecture)
technology. The new Quadro® CX, with
1.5GB of video memory and countless
sophisticated features, directly aimed
at DCC, takes fully advantage of CUDA
and allows new specific computational
and graphic routines to be written and
executed by the GPU (Graphic Processing
Unit) at a much faster speed than the
hosting CPU. Adobe® Premiere® Pro CS4 &
Adobe® After Effects® CS4 are among the
first application to take full advantage
of CUDA, with a huge performance
improvement. CUDA virtually works on all
Nvidia video cards and can take
advantage of multiple GPU installed on
the same system.

More than a year ago we started offering
quieter but more powerful system
solutions, with the adoption of CPU water-cooling technology. The main
goal was to improve the thermal
convection of the stock CPU heat-sink,
while reducing the amount of noise
generated by the speedy cooling fan. We
just improved this concept with a new
revolutionary line of air-cooled
heat-sinks from Cooler-Master®, adopting
an massive amount of fin surface and
using a vertical, quiet 12cm fan. This
new technology combines the quietness of
the water-cooled approach, still
allowing a good amount of heat
extraction by keeping the air-flow from
font to back of the case. It also has an
even better thermal conveyance, compared
to the early water-cooling systems and
an intrinsically maintenance-free
reliability. With this improved
technology and Intel newest 45nm CPU, we
are currently offering an outstanding
4.50 GHz
Intel® Core®2 Duo E8600, or a Quad core
QX9770 at 3.60GHz, delivering
unsurpassed performance at a
great price!
With the advent of faster and more
powerful CPUs and video card, the need
for adequate case ventilation has been
quite a challenge. Our effort had paid
off with the newest offering of our Xi®
MTowerTM
HAF model. Dubbed by Cooler-Master®
HAF (Headquarters Air Force), this new
full tower case has the best ventilation
design available on the market, while
maintaining a very quiet noise
signature. Equipped with three huge, but
extremely quiet, 23cm fan plus one 14cm
back fan, this innovative case offers
the adequate amount of cooling to
reliably support a Triple SLITM
configuration with power hungry video
cards like the Nvidia®
GeForce® 9800GTX+, combined
with both single and dual processor
multi-cores CPU and high speed RAM.

Vista™!?!
Is Microsoft® Vista™
really a new thing? Despite some
initial skepticism and critics, of
course it is new and innovative,
especially for the 64-bit version.
It will simply take time to
assimilate and perfect for
productive use. What that means in
plain words? Most of your old
applications will not run on Vista.
For example, AutoCAD® versions prior
to 2007 will, most likely, never
receive a patch or update to run on
Vista. ACAD 2007 and 2007/LT will
(possibly soon) get a patch only for
Vista 32-bit. The 2008 Versions will
run on both Vista 32 and 64-Bit, all
flavors from Home to Ultimate.
Expect the same behavior for other
old CAD and Game packages you
already own. If you really like to
get Vista now, we do recommend the
64-Bit versions. In the 32-bit Vista
versions, the memory limitation of
the old XP to 3GB (yes, even if you
have 4GB) is still there. With the
64-Bit version you can address
beyond 4GB to the max RAM offering
of our multiprocessor
Opteron™ and
Xeon® processors (32GB+), to
solve some of the memory swapping
problems of XP and improve
performance dramatically.
The time to upgrade is now!
Silent Water Cooled Cases and
OverClocking
As you know @Xi® we
strive for performance as well
reliability. For years powerful
computer workstations have not been
quiet to operate. With the
continuous increasing in clock
speed, RAM and Hard Drive capacity,
the amount of energy dissipated by
is constantly raising and with it,
the associated heat and noise.
Recently we teamed up with one of
the most advanced computer case
manufacturer (Thermaltake™) to
provide you with state-of-the-art
air and water-cooling technology.
Our line of MTower™ workstations
offers now, new revolutionary
solutions, like grid-mesh front
panels and quiet 12cm fans. To
further enhance the thermal
operational parameters of the CPU,
we are now offering a factory sealed
Water Cooling silent solution. While
eliminating the noise generated by
traditional CPU Heat-Sink fans, it
allows reliable faster clock
operation, beyond standard
manufacturer air-cooling
specifications. This is particularly
true for our MTower™ equipped with
the Intel® Core® 2 Duo and the EVGA®
Nvidia® 680i Chipset motherboards.
3.20GHz for the QX6700, is just an
example.

4x4 AMD Quad FX!
AMD®
is countering the Intel®
Quad-Core with a dual processor capable
motherboard ASUS®
L1N64, sporting 4 PCIe at 16x for the
ultimate SLI performance and un-buffered
DDR2 800MHz RAM among other goodies. The new
FX-70, FX72 and FX-74 come at 2.6, 2.8 &
3GHz clock speed with a performance above
the Opteron™ 2220 at basically almost half
the price. Even though preliminary
benchmarks still show the Intel holding the
absolute performance crown, this AMD
solution has few advantages of its own.
Among them are a competitive price for the
low-end clock and scalability to a second
dual core CPU at a later time, while the
multithread software is catching up. At the
FX-72 level, with 2 CPU installed, the
amount of power/heat to dissipate is quite
substantial and the price advantage is a bit
diminished by the extra cooling required. We
teamed up with Thermaltake™ with a Dual
Channel Air Guide case, the Armor™ Extreme,
to keep both processors cool and assure
future scalability to higher speed and 8
cores in 2007.

@Xi® The Fastest Workstation!
We do not
have to change the title, dejavu again and again. While
our competitors tried to follow with the same
configuration (Intel® based) of the previous review, we
gave them a new lesson in the art of system integration.
Our Xi® MTowerTM
64SLI, with the AthlonTM
FX55 (2.6GHz) and NVIDIA® NForceTM 4 SLI chipset motherboard, QuadroTM
FX4400 PCIe got the fastest result on CADalyst
June
2005 Workstations Roundup review. CADalyst give us the fastest record-breaking score with
our
Xi® MTower 2P64 Workstation
dual
processor Opteron based.
Quite an impressive result, a dual CPU system is finally
outperforming the fastest single processors. Well, of
course @Xi Computer is the workstation leader! Any
doubts? OK, PC-WORLD gives us the #1 spot with
the MTower AGE-SLI, still same FX55 and same chipset,
with an NVIDA FX6800 Ultra, over 10% faster than the
second best... we are good! More confirmations? CATIA
community just did it's annual workstation roundup.

FX57, Dual
Core AthlonTM
& OpteronTM
AMD®
announced today the availability of its fastest to date
processor the Athlon FX57, clocked at 2.8GHz,
consolidating his position with the most powerful single
core CPU. That's just the beginning, we are just
shipping the first Dual Core 4400, 4800 AthlonTM
and the 270, 275 and 875 OpteronTM. Confusing? A Dual Core is a single chip containing two CPU
with it's own independent cache sharing the memory
controller that interfaces with the outer world. The
4400 and 4800 allows dual CPU power on a single
processor motherboard, a new level of affordability for
a workstation. The 270 and 275, being utilized on a dual
processor board, give you 4 (four) CPUs total. If you
have a multithread application that will take advantage,
or multiple applications competing for power, this it
the answer. Ultimately the 875 is a Dual Core CPU that
installed in our quad motherboard allows you 8 CPU
total. Never such power has been so affordable, dense
and reliable. The NVIDIA® GeForce 7800GTX and the
Intel® Pentium® D, Dual Core are among the other new
offerings.

PCI-Express™
SLI™!
After careful testing we have validated PCI-Express™
based systems both single and dual processor based on the
Intel®
Pentium™
4 and XEON™
processors. Intel has been the promoter of this new graphic
interface that is initially capable of twice the bandwidth
of the AGP 8X "old" interface to 4Gbyte/sec. In addition to
a higher bandwidth, the PCI-Express interface allows easy
scalability with 2 PCI-E interfaces on the same motherboard.
The advantages are multiples: Better graphic performance,
balanced 3D performance with 4 screens configuration and the
ability to use Multiple Graphics Units (GPU) for a single
screen presentation. Nvidia®
is the leader in this concept with the introduction of the
SLI™
(Scalable Link Interface) concept offering unsurpassed
performance, by using multiple Graphic Processors resident
on multiple graphics cards. At present we offer a XEON™
based Xi®
MTower™
DPX with SLI™
dual PCI-Express™
technology with dual Nvidia®
Quadro™
FX 1300 and 3400. Single processor PCI-E technology is
coupled with DDR2 533MHz (over-clock-able to 600MHz) in our
Xi®
3600 MTower™
SP Pentium™
4 3.6GHz.
May it be next fastest workstation?
4000+ & FX55 Athlon™!
While Nvidia®
and VIA®
are both working to deliver a new PCI-E graphic interface
for the AMD Athlon™

as opposed to the “old”
512KB external L2 cache CPUs.
The new "T-Bird" achieves an extraordinary performance increase of
up to 30%, over the same
clock speed of the external 512KB L2 cache of the Athlon “Classic”
. We offer these new Socket A CPUs with the
newest class of
VIA based chipset motherboards featuring 133MHz SDRAM expandability to 1.5GB.
Less heat, and noise (one only CPU fan is required), are
among other improved qualities of the new T-Bird based Xi
systems.
RAMBUS on
Intel based Xi MTower DP for the multithread AutoCAD 2000i !
With the arrival of the latest 800MHz RAMBUS technology at a
very reasonable price, we saw the opportunity to offer the Intel

700MHz
AMD Athlon is here; Xi 650K MTower is the fastest AutoCAD
workstation (one more time)! We
are shipping the newest 700MHz AMD Athlon, and the November
issue of CADalyst just gave the award for the FASTEST AutoCAD Workstation to our Xi 650K MTower SP, with 5 star
rating. In this review we used the AMD Athlon 650MHz and an
equally configured Intel 600MHz Pentium III processor for direct
comparison. The Xi 650K (AMD CPU) was, up to, almost 50%
faster… than the fastest Intel based (IBM & Xi too!), and
more than 15% faster than its closest Athlon-equipped
competitor. Xi has been rated the best price & best
performance of the all systems CADalyst reviewed and it features
a great new Tool Free Xi MTower Case. What’s
new? Xi is the uncontested leader of the CAD System market!
And those of you who ask the most important question: “How
much faster is the AMD compared to the Intel?” we can answer
that (based on the CAD benchmark) at same clock speed the AMD is
overall around 10% faster. Now the lead is in favor of AMD
considering clock speed, price & deliverance, taking into
account that Intel just announced the 733MHz with 133MHz BUS,
while AMD is now delivering the 700MHz and talking about 750Mhz
soon. Stay tuned for more details on the review, new Intel

For
many years Xi has been a sole supporter of the Intel
Architecture. After careful research, Xi’s R&D Lab
is pleased to endorse the AMD Athlon platform. There are
some very unique features that make the AMD Athlon the fastest
available processor to date. So… by "popular demand"
and educated choice, Xi is glad to offer the AMD Athlon to you,
with our tradition of top performance and reliability. Our New
Xi Athlon MTower SP comes in four different clock speed: 500,
550, 600, & 650MHz with a 200MHz Front-end
Processor BUS (CPU to Chipset), 128K L1 two way associative
Cache and 512K L2 Cache. It supports the newest Ultra ATA-66
Adaptec EIDE interface and has the New enhanced 3D NOW
instruction-set specifically designed for graphics & 3D
applications. Our Xi Athlon MTower SP is built with our new line
of Tool Free Cases (no screwdriver needed to open) which
supports 7 bays and comes with a 250W Power Supply. In keeping
with Xi Computer’s tradition for unsurpassed speed, we are
offering it with the fastest PC 100 MHz SDRAM.

How fast it is? Well, the 600 & 650 are both faster than the
Intel 600MHz systems with comparable configurations at a very
attractive price.

MTower:
The Xi MTower 600 received the highest marks in the overall
score for a PC Workstation in National Standards Testing
Laboratory's testing of the Xi MTower for Business Week Online.
(read
review) It received a 24.9 overall score, the highest in the
review, with the average being 15.2. The overall score takes
into account many factors, including usability, features, and
performance. It also received the highest performance score of
4.3, nearly double the average of 2.2.
NetRAIDer:
The Xi NetRAIDer is "first place in overall performance" in the
PC World review of more than half a dozen Pentium III Xeon
servers. (read
review). "Xi placed first in
SQL test", "but it really distinguished itself in the File
Service test, beating out its nearest competitor by more than 20
percent." The choice is clear, for the ultimate
server, in performance, reliability, "good security", and "plenty of room
to upgrade". The Xi NetRAIDer is the only way to go.
