Featuring new AMD64 Multi-core technology, the BOXX 7400 Series Workstation offers up to 50% faster rendering performance than single-core Workstations. Higher performance per watt provides cooler and quieter operation for a better overall user experience and a higher level of dependability.

By offering support for Windows XP x64 Edition, the BOXX 7400 Series Workstation assures the ease of transition to Windows 64-bit visual computing applications. You can move at your own pace without concerns for future system obsolescence.

Under the hood are dual PCIe x16 graphics, NVIDIA® Quadro SLI technology, up to 16GB of dual-channel system memory, dual Gigabit Ethernet and upgradeability for up to 5 TB of internal RAID protected storage.

For dual controller configuration the Bluefish444 card is to be placed in the PCIX-133 slot and the two controllers placed in the two 100 MHz slots.

The HD Lust uses 2 slots, thsi will require the daughter board to be removed and a londer audio cable to be used. If you wish to use a dual SCSI controller configuration with the HD Lust please contact your reseller requesting an audio extender cable.
