Competitive advantage is born of 

innovation. As the first worldwide ven-

dor to introduce the AMD Opteron

processor for standards-based work-

stations, IBM leads the industry in 

32-/64-bit computing with the

IntelliStation® A Pro 6217. Building on

breakthrough AMD64 architecture, the

second-generation A Pro is engineered

to deliver the ultimate 64-bit profes-

sional workstation performance and

visualization for compute-intensive 

environments.

Bristling with up to 16GB of PC3200

ECC memory, the A Pro is certified

1

by

leading 3D software vendors for the

most demanding users, from engineers

to molecular chemists, animators to

geologists. Take advantage of PCI

Express x16 graphics and up to two

single-core or dual-core AMD Opteron

processors. IBM has forged a com-

pelling price/performance alternative to

proprietary 64-bit UNIX® workstations,

with a straightforward transition from

your current 32-bit workflow to next-

generation 64-bit applications.

The A Pro with AMD Direct Connect

Architecture is designed to bypass the

primary bottleneck of other workstation

designs—the front-side bus—opening

the processors to a flood of data. It is a

highly scalable solution devised to

anticipate your future computing needs,

helping to deliver real investment 

protection.
