icroprocessor Options
The Dell Inspiron 3000 series portable computer is available with a 200-, 233-, or 266-megahertz (MHz) Intel
Pentium
Pentium II microprocessor.
All microprocessors used in the Inspiron 3000 series
incorporate MMX
designed specifically for MMX technology should gain a
slight improvement i n performance when run on a system
with a Pentium microprocessor with MMX technology.
Software written specifically to take advantage of MMX
technology (labeled “Designed for Intel MMX”) shows
even greater improvement in perform ance, dep endi n g on
the type of application. In addition, a Pentium microprocessor with MMX technology provides twice the amount
of internal cache memory available with the standard
Pentium microprocessor.

ardware Features
Dell Inspiron 3000 series computers now offer the following enhanced features:
•
32 kilobytes (KB) of internal cache memory.
•
A minimum of 32 megabytes (MB) of synchronous
dynamic random-access memory (SDRAM).
The 32 MB consists of 16 MB of nonremovable
memory on the system board and a 16-MB
3.3-volt (V) memory module in one of the two
memory module sockets on the system board.
Memory on any Inspiron 3000 series computer can
be increased up to 144 MB by installing a combination of 16-, 32-, or 64-MB, 3.3-V memory modules
in the two memory module sockets on the system
board.
•
512 KB of static RAM (SRAM) level 2 (L2) cache
memory.
Cache memory enhances the speed of many microprocessor operations by storing the most recently
accessed contents of system memory.
