Intel® Processor and Chipset
The Dell Latitude X300 notebook features the latest Intel® Pentium® M processors.
Intel® Pentium® M processors feature a new micro-architecture incorporating a series of new
architectural, circuit & logic techniques such as micro ops fusion, advanced branch prediction,
dedicated stack management, a power-optimised 400MHz Processor System Bus (PSB), and
aggressive clock gating & device sizing techniques designed for higher performance & lower power.
These processors also feature 1 MB of power managed cache in addition to the Enhanced Intel®
SpeedStep® Technology with multi voltage/operating points to consume less than 1 watt average
power.
The Dell Latitude X300 also uses the Intel® 855GM chipset. In addition to its integrated graphics
capabilities (described below), this chipset supports USB 2.0, up to 1152 MB of shared system memory
and the latest high speed ATA-100 hard drives.
Excellent Integrated Graphics Performance
The Dell Latitude X300 utilises the new Intel® 855GM integrated UMA graphics chipset featuring Intel's
Dynamic Video Memory (DVM) technology. UMA graphics chipsets share graphics and system
memory by dynamically allocating system memory to graphics as needed by the applications currently
in use. When needed, the X300's 855GM chipset can allocate up to 64 MB of system memory to
graphics. This provides outstanding 2D and 3D video performance for the most demanding Internet
and application software titles.
The Latitude X300 also offers dual-display capability, providing users with the opportunity to use both
the internal LCD and an external display simultaneously. Furthermore, based on the latest architecture
from Intel, Extended Desktop is fully supported in Windows 2000 and XP (Pro and Home).

LCD Display

The Latitude X300 offers 12.1" XGA Active Matrix (TFT) displays with 1024x768 resolution.
The Latitude X300 incorporates Dell's latest 12.1" displays with power inverters that operate efficiently
to help improve battery life. The X300 displays can be dimmed to only 20 nits, perfect for dark rooms
and late night air travel. This dimming of the system display also increases battery life.
