DECstation 5000/240 Workstation
Championship Performance That Gets the Job Done

WS3PI001

Applications demand a lot from a workstation. Like the Olympic Decathlon, being
good in just one event isn’t enough. While MIPS, Megaflops, and SPECmarks have
long been thought of as the only event, they are only one metric for measuring what a
workstation can really do for you.
The DECstation 5000/240 workstation, Digital’s highest performance, ACEcompatible, RISC workstation provides you with superb across-the-spectrum performance in all areas of workstation computing, such as:
• Graphics -the best graphics options, from 2D to complex, accelerated 3D
• Client-Server Networking - Prestoserve (accelerates NFS up to 300%); multiple
full-bandwidth Ethernet and FDDI
• CPU Subsystem - removable R3000A CPU daughter card, a design that provides
an upgrade path to future 64-bit R4000 processors
• Open Bus Architecture - the ACE-standard, open TURBOchannel interconnect
provides fast I/O bandwidth plus a large storage capacity of over 28 Gbytes and
exceptional system expansion in graphics, networking, and more
• Software Evironment - industry-standard UNIX operating system with ACE
networked graphics: X, PEX, PHIGS, GL (future)
• Memory - a 100 Mbyte/sec memory subsystem that supports up to 480 Mbytes,
more than enough for the most demanding applications
• Disk I/O - fast, standard, synchronous DMA SCSI disk contoller; hyper-fast,
optional IPI disks
By providing the winning combination of power and flexibility, your investment in the
DECstation 5000/240 is an investment in the future.
