• MEMORY CHANNEL 2 is a high-speed, high-performance PCI memory interconnect between two or more closely coupled systems

• MEMORY CHANNEL 2 provides the low latency of SMP (symmetrical multiprocessing) systems, across
  more processors and platforms. Unlike network message passing in a traditional cluster environment, communication is accomplished across a memory bus, shared among the cluster nodes.

• MEMORY CHANNEL is somewhat unique - it is not memory, but a bus or channel into the memory of another system.

• MEMORY CHANNEL 2 is not hardware compatible with earlier generation MEMORY CHANNEL products due to its higher performance interconnect.

• MEMORY CHANNEL 2 can also be configured with Fiber Optic options.
