Hardware Features
An Intel® mobile microprocessor incorporating the latest processor technology.
An internal, Level 1 (L1) cache consisting of 64 kilobytes (KB) of high-speed memory that resides in the processor core. The
microprocessor has either a 128-KB or 256-KB (integrated) Level 2 (L2) cache or a 512-KB pipelined-burst static random-access
memory (SRAM) (external) L2 cache.
A minimum of 32 megabytes (MB) of synchronous dynamic random-access memory (SDRAM) system memory, with support for a
maximum of 512 MB.
A media bay in which you can install a variety of modules, including a diskette drive, CD-ROM drive, CD-RW drive, DVD-ROM drive
(on computers running Microsoft® Windows® 98 Second Edition or Windows 2000), Zip drive, SuperDisk LS-120 drive, second
battery, or a second hard-disk drive.
NOTES: Your computer was shipped with a diskette drive in the media bay. For information on removing
the diskette drive and installing a different device in the bay, see "Using the Media Bay" in Chapter 2 of
the Reference and Troubleshooting Guide.
Because the Microsoft Windows NT® operating system does not support DVD technology, the DVD-
ROM drive is available only on computers that use the Windows 98 Second Edition or Windows 2000
operating system.
A 64-bit hardware-accelerated ATI Mobility-M video controller with 8 MB of video memory, accelerated graphics port (AGP) 2X, 3D
assist, motion compensation, extended desktop, OpenGL support, and a flicker-free TV-out S-video connector.
