  • Page 2: Abstract

    PC dx6050 delivers proven technologies at an extremely competitive price. The NVIDIA GeForce4 MX graphics integrated into the HP Business PC dx6050 can deliver a new level of high-performance graphics to the mainstream PC user. With its powerful nView multi-display architecture, Lightspeed Memory Architecture II and Accuview Antialiasing engine, the GeForce4 MX series delivers feature-rich, leading-edge graphics technology, performance and flexibility.

  • Page 3: Graphics Memory Allocation

    HP recommends using the Auto feature. Graphics Driver Not only is graphics memory size important, so is location. With the HP graphics driver installed, graphics memory is allocated at the top of main memory space. If any other driver is used, graphics memory may be allocated elsewhere, potentially impacting the performance of the entire system.

  • Page 4: Main Memory Configuration

    Channels Single (one DIMM deployed), dual (two DIMMs deployed) As shown in Table 2, the system board of the HP Business PC dx6050 includes two DIMM slots, each delivering an independent, 64-bit-wide memory channel. Configuring these channels appropriately can impact graphics performance.

  • Page 5: Summary

    The HP Business PC dx6050 will not support future Athlon XP processors with front-side buses that operate at a 400 MHz. HP offers the following recommendations for maximizing performance: • Dual-channel–While it is possible to configure single-channel main memory, HP recommends the dual-channel configuration, which doubles memory bandwidth.

  • Page 6: Appendix

    • An alternative graphics driver is used Note In this context, a graphics driver supplied with the system or downloaded from the HP website is an HP driver; any other graphics driver is an alternative driver. Example 1 In this example (shown in Figure 1), the end-user is deploying matched DIMMs. The graphics driver can be HP-or an alternative.

  • Page 7: Example 2

    Example 2 In this example (shown in Figure 2), the end-user is deploying mismatched DIMMs. There is an HP graphics driver. Figure 2: Dual-channel memory with mismatched DIMMS, HP graphics driver. The BIOS maps upper memory to be 64 bits wide, lower memory to be 128 bits wide.

  • Page 8: Example 3

    In this example (shown in Figure 3), the end-user is deploying mismatched DIMMs. There is an alternative graphics driver. Note An alternative graphics driver may behave differently than an HP driver if memory is mismatched, as in this example. Figure 3: Dual-channel memory with mismatched DIMMS, alternative graphics driver.
