- Multiprocessor configurations are available. The 4000-600 AXP takes up to
- two processors; the 7000/1000-600 AXP take up to six processors. Both
- SPECthruput and SPECrate performance data has been published; contact your
- local DEC sales office for a more detailed performance brief, if required.
-
- As has been mentioned before, there are other differences than performance,
- such as maximum memory, available I/O bandwidth, expandability, and so on.
