that uses the Intel Pentium
This chapter provides an overview of the components and subsystems of this
computer.
Model names for the Inspiron 7000 indicate the operating frequency of the
microprocessor (266 for 266 MHz or 300 for 300 MHz), the size (X for 13.3-inch
LCD or G for 14.1-inch LCD) of the display, and the type (T for TFT) of display.
The Inspiron 7000 D266XT contains a Pentium II microprocessor with
MMX technology 266 MHz and a 13.3-inch XGA active-matrix TFT LCD.
The Inspiron 7000 D266GT contains a Pentium II microprocessor with
MMX technology 266 MHz and a 14.1-in. XGA active-matrix TFT LCD.
The Inspiron 7000 D300GT contains a Pentium II microprocessor with
MMX technology 300 MHz and a 14.1-in. XGA active-matrix TFT LCD.
In addition to the standard features found in IBM-compatible portable comput-
ers, the Dell Inspiron 7000 computers include the following new and/or
advanced features:
A minimum of 32 MB of SDRAM on the system board. The memory capac-
ity can be increased up to 192 MB by increasing the SDRAM on the
system board to 64 MB and/or by installing 32- or 64-MB 3.3-V memory
modules in the two user-accessible memory module sockets.
A 13.3-inch active-matrix XGA display on the Inspiron 7000 D266XT;
a 14.1-inch active-matrix XGA display on the Inspiron 7000 D266GT and
D300GT.
65-WH smart lithium ion battery (12 cells).
512-KB SRAM level-2 external cache and 32-KB internal cache.
ATI Rage LT Pro 64-bit video controller incorporating an accelerated graph-
ics port (AGP2X) that bypasses the PCI bus and transmits graphics data
about four times more quickly. Standard memory is 4 MB, with an optional
upgrade to 8 MB.
Intel Mobile 440BX AGP system chip set.
