The sweet spot
As the best selling IBM IntelliStation Pro
workstation series, the new M Pro is a
study in understatement – and
overachievement. Like its 5-star
predecessors in price/performance, this
M Pro is high in productivity and long
on value; easy on upkeep and
abundant with choice. The compact
mini tower fits comfortably into snug
work spaces, yet its flexible design
packs up to one terabyte of data
storage. Speaking of dimensions,
choose from responsive 2D graphics to
advanced and high-end 3D solutions
from ATI, NVIDIA and 3Dlabs, each
task-tuned to streamline today’s
multi-tasking workflows. From complex
MCAD mock-ups to designing Mach 3
game action – and virtually everything in
between – the new IntelliStation M Pro
aims for all that you can imagine: the
sweet spot for creative minds.

More to the core
Scale up with an available dual-core
Intel Pentium 4 processor and up to the
(now doubled) maximum of 8GB of
memory (PC-4200 ECC DDR2). With
two cores processing in tandem, you
can expect enhanced performance for
heavy multi-tasking workloads, for
example continuing to work on a 3D
CAD model while running a finite
analysis in the background. True multithreading
is supported for a growing list
of applications optimised to divide and
conquer ever-expanding datasets. 4
Building on Intel EM64T, the new
IntelliStation M Pro 6218 adapts to
tomorrow’s technical computing
demands with 64-bit memory
scalability. Intel EM64T is designed to
help you get more mileage – and
performance – from your familiar 32-bit
software under Microsoft Windows and
Linux, while helping to future-proof your
investment whenever you’re ready to
augment your process with key 64-bit
applications. The new dual-core
capable IntelliStation M Pro is simply
more productive to the core.
The extra mile
The competitive IntelliStation M Pro
price bestows a wealth of productivityenhancing
advantages: a three year
warranty5 on parts and on-site labour;
Web-based help and technical support
resources6 before and after purchase;
and an on-going mission to tune, test
and certify key applications with leading
independent software vendors (ISVs). 7

1 Maximum physical memory is 4GB running
under Microsoft Windows XP Professional 32-bit
operating system, or 8GB under Microsoft
Windows XP Professional x64 Edition;
addressable capacity is less. Maximum physical
memory is 8GB running under select 64-bit
Linux distributions.
2 Requires a compatible 64-bit operating system.
3 Maximum internal hard drive capacities assume
the replacement of any standard drives and the
population of all bays with the largest currently
supported hard disk drives available from IBM;
an optional hardware adapter is required to
attain the stated maximum storage capacity.
4 Application performance is affected by many
factors, not just processor speed or core

Technology.
10 GB equals 1,000,000,000 bytes when referring
to hard disk drive capacity. Accessible capacity
is less.
11 Variable read rate. Actual playback speed will
vary and is often less than the maximum
possible.
12 Up to 48X CD-R write speed; up to 32X CD-RW
rewrite speed; variable read rate 48X-20X.
Actual playback speed will vary and is often less
than the maximum possible. The read and write
results of the CD-RW drive depend upon the
