YDL PowerStation

Designed to perform.
The Quad-core 970 PowerStation is a deskside tower Workstation and Server that adheres to the SSI EEB system packaging standards. PowerStation offers a four-way SMP system based on the PowerPC 970MP Processor and the CPC945 North Bridge Chip. PCI I/O is provided by integrated Ethernet, integrated SAS (support for external SAS expansion provided), PCI-E and PCI-X slots.

Designed to perform, the YDL PowerStation is a well-rounded high-performance workhorse. Quiet, fast, and robust, this is a box you'll hang on to for a long, long time.
