ystem Features
In addition to the standard features found in IBM
puters, the Dell Inspiron 3000 series computers include the following new and/
or advanced features:
•
32 MB of SDRAM consisting of 16 MB of nonremovable main memory on
the main board and a 16-MB memory module in one of the two memory
module sockets. The memory capacity can be increased up to 144 MB by
installing 16-, 32-, or 64-MB 3.3-V memory modules in the memory mod-
ule sockets on the main board.
