Or maybe Europe ? - Read on : Also on Tuesday, Fujitsu's European subsidiary, Fujitsu Siemens Computers (Holding) BV, unveiled a new workstation based on a 64-bit x86 processor developed by Intel's rival Advanced Micro Devices Inc. The Celsius V810, which will not be sold in the U.S., will contain as many as two AMD Opteron processors. It will have a maximum clock speed of 2.2GHz. With the high-end V810, Fujitsu Siemens becomes the first major computer maker to sell an Opteron-based workstation, an AMD spokesman said. Fujitsu is also working on a mainframe-class Itanium-based system that is expected to ship some time in 2005, according to Rodriguez. The V810 will support as much as 16G bytes of RAM (random access memory) and will have a maximum storage capacity of 147G bytes. The RXI600 server comes with as much as 32G bytes of memory and will have a maximum storage capacity of 438G bytes. Both systems will ship with either Windows or Linux.
