Overview
The HP i2000 was HP’s first Itanium workstation with a first generation Itanium processor (Merced) and more a proof-of-concept to deliver first Itanium hardware, based on an early Intel reference design (82460GX, was also rebranded and sold by other vendors). The system had certain limitations (some due to chipset and/or OS bugs), supported only first generation Itanium CPUs and was rather slow.
