Memory

The F-22 uses fast PC2-8500 (DDR2-1066) memory, the extra speed of this memory provides the solid foundation of a high-speed synchronous Front Side Bus, while also providing advanced coolling to improve overclocking performance.

If 4GB of memory is installed in the system, the total memory will show less than 4G Bytes. Windows XP (or Vista) 64-bit Operating System cannot use all the available memory because of limitations within the operating system Kernel.

Number of Monitors	Maximum Amount of recognized memory

Video Features

The biggest monitor you can get is a 30" unit with 2560x1600 resolution. These monitors require special video output, known as Dual-Link. Most video cards and most computers will not support Dual-Link technology.

Depending on the video configuration you order (follow the video specifications link below), you can power up to 4 Dual-Link 30" (2560x1600) monitors.

The base configuration provides support for two monitors, up to 27" LCD (Digital signal).

Hard Drives

The F-22 is equipped with Seagate Enterprise Server (ES) SATA hard drives or 10,000rpm Western digital Raptor SATA hard drives. These drives have high data transfer rates, much higher reliability, and a large RAM cache.

Falcon computers use the finest emergency rescue system available today. A hidden partition on the hard drive contains a complete copy of your as-shipped Operating System installation. In 15 minutes you can perform a complete fresh re-install of Windows XP or Vista.

We also offer a Second Boot option, which provides you with a second bootable hard drive. This option protects you from hardware or software problems. A third hard drive may be ordered to provide storage for scheduled automatic backups of your main hard drive.

Our hard drive enclosures provide easy access to hard drives upgrade, replacement, data transport, and multiple boot drives. They also provide enhanced coolling with individual fans and temperature monitoring.

Power Supply
		True 680 watt continuous output High output quad rail 52amp 12v power (12v power is where you need it most!) Ultra-efficiency at ~85% Low noise and very High efficiency Active PFC (Power Factor Correction) Precision voltage regulation (+/- 3%) Complies with latest ATX12V v2.2 / EPS12V v2.91 form factors Modular connections for easy service Mirror finish

CPU Cooller

The ZEROtherm® BTF90 butterfly shaped fins provide more surface area coolling. Combined with 8 copper heatpipes and a 92mm variable speed fan, this CPU Cooller provides over 150W of coolling power.

Standard software		Optional software
The Falcon Fast Recovery System uses Acronis to provide the simplest, fastest, and most reliable emergency recovery technology available today. You can restore to factory original setting by pressing the F9 key during bootup. You can make your own full drive backups. Unlike competitive products, there are no limits to how many backups you can make or how many recoveries you can perform.		PerfectDisk Professional Trading will fragment your hard drive. Each day you get more data from each symbol you chart. The new data does not fit into the original file size and the hard drive must find an empty spot on the hard drive to place the new data. Through this process your data becomes fragmented (spread out in fragmented files all over your hard drive). PerfectDisk will continuously defragment your hard drive to give you optimal data read and write speed.
