Abstract
By incorporating processors, chipset and integrated graphics from AMD and NVIDIA, the HP Business
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.
Because the integrated graphics receive an allocation of DDR main memory, graphics performance
can be tied directly to main memory performance. The graphics memory allocation is hidden from the
operating system and cannot be used for other purposes.
The HP Business PC dx6050 supports single-channel and dual-channel main memory configurations.
Performance tests carried out by HP indicate that a dual-channel memory configuration can lead to
significant performance gains.
This white paper outlines main memory configuration issues and the performance testing, and offers
recommendations for optimizing the memory configuration.
