!!!!! Wanted !!!!!
Someone to Beta test memory boards for Apollo DN3000, DN3500,
DN4000, and DN4500 workstations.
What's in it for you?
Determine if adding more memory to your system would show an
improvement without having to buy it.
If your system is memory bound, adding more memory should
improve performance. Maybe your system is CPU or I/O bound.
In this case, adding more memory would not improve the
performance . . . Unless you are CPU and/or I/O bound because
the system is doing excessive paging.
The best way to determine how much improvement you will see by
adding memory is to add the memory.
In addition, the Sale department has said that beta testers will
"earn valuable discount credits". I'm not sure what this means
but it sounds like you might get a price break if you bought one
later.
What's in it for us?
We get to verify the design and check out the installation
instructions with more systems. Although the boards will have
been extensively checked with our test equipment, there is
nothing like real applications to prove out a design. We are
also looking for valuable feedback on the ease of installation
and clarity of the installation instructions.
Who, What, Where, When and How:
When: The time we have scheduled for Beta testing is September 25
through September 29 for the Apollo DN3500, DN4000,
and DN4500 workstations. Beta testing for the Apollo
DN3000 workstation is scheduled for October 10 through
October 16.
Where: We would like to do the testing in, or close to, New Jersey,
eastern Pennsylvania, southeastern New York, Connecticut,
Maryland, or Delaware.
The Rest:
If this sounds interesting, please leave mail with your
name, address, phone number, and the best time to contact.
OR
Call Jay Scocchio at 609-799-0071 ext. 212.
Monday-Friday 7:30 AM to 4:00 PM EDT
We only need four beta sites. Once we have those sites, beta testing
will be over.
