Computer Specifications
CPU and Memory
32-bit CPU
Green PC
energy saver
System speed
Upgradable 486-class processor
Energy Star compliant, low-power doze,
sleep, and suspend modes for the CPU,
hard disk drive, and video signals sent by
the computer to the monitor; select
time-out periods in SETUP; in a standard
configuration of one hard disk drive and
one
diskette drive, system consumes less
than 30 Watts in sleep mode
Fast and slow system clock speeds
available; fast is the speed of the processor
and slow is 8 MHz; from MS-DOS, speed
selectable by keyboard command
Controllers
PCI Chipset
Video
Diskette
Hard disk
Provides postwrite buffers, memory and
control for the PCI bus, and the
two-channel PCI IDE interface; integrated
PCI bridge translates CPU bus cycles to
PCI bus cycles and CPU-to-PCI memory
write cycles to PCI burst cycles
Trident 9440AGI high-performance PCI
local bus GUI accelerator controller
supports resolutions up to 1024 x 768
in 256 colors with 1MB of DRAM;
1280 x 1024 in 256 colors with 2MB of
DRAM
Controller on system board supports up
to two diskette drives or
one
diskette and
one tape drive
Two PCI, ATA-2 compatible two-channel,
PCI local bus IDE interfaces on system
board support up to four IDE devices (two
on each channel); CD-ROM drives cannot
be connected to the same channel as hard
disk drives; BIOS provides hard disk
auto-detection and enhanced IDE
functions, and supports PIO modes 0-4
