DELL Computer Corp has announced two new members to its workstation family which incorporate the latest chipset and memory technologies for a more improved performance.

The Dell Precision Workstation 220 and 420 incorporate Intel's new 820 and 840 chipsets respectively with new Rambus memory enhancements on both.

The 820 and 840 chipsets include a 133-megahertz (MHz) front side bus and 4X advanced graphics port (AGP) support which is said to bring improvements in overall system performance.

With a maximum data transfer rate of up to 1.6-gigabytes per second (GBps) the Rambus dynamic random access memory (RDRAM) in the Dell Precision Workstation 220 and 420 is claimed to be faster than the traditional 100MHz.

The Dell Precision Workstation 220 can be custom-configured with single or dual Intel Pentium III processors at speeds of up to 733MHz, and up to 72GB of hard disk storage and 512-megabytes (MB) of Rambus memory while the Dell Precision Workstation 420 offers up to 2GB of Rambus memory.

The workstation 420 also incorporates single or dual Intel PIII processors at either 733MHz or 600MHz. The Dell Precision Workstation 220 and 420 are available for order with a choice of graphics cards for 2-D, OpenGL 3D and multi-monitor graphics performance.

These new models are intended for professionals who demand performance in the computer-aided design, digital content creation, geographic information system, computer animation, software development and financial analysis markets.

The Workstation 220 price starts at RM8,265 while the Workstation 420 is RM11,214.
