System Specifications

Display

The large graphics display offers excellent viewing, display quality and 
desktop performance graphics. The computer supports a Thin-Film Transistor 
(TFT) liquid crystal display (LCD) displaying 16-bit hi-color at 1024x768 
Extended Graphics Array (XGA) resolution.

Video Performance

PCI local bus video with industry-leading 256-bit graphics acceleration and 
high-speed 2.5MB Synchronous Graphics Random Access Memory 
(SGRAM) boost video performance.

Simultaneous Display

The computer’s large display and multimedia capabilities are great for giving 
presentations. If you prefer, you can also connect an external monitor when 
giving presentations. This computer supports simultaneous LCD and CRT 
display. Simultaneous display allows you to control the presentation from 
your computer and at the same time face your audience. With the built-in S-
video output jack, you can even connect other output display devices such as 
LCD projection panels for large-audience presentations.

Dual Display

The computer’s unique graphics chip takes advantage of Windows 98’s multi-
display capability, allowing you to extend your desktop to an external display 
device, such as an external monitor or projector.   With this feature enabled, 
you can move program windows to/from the computer LCD and the external 
monitor. 

Power Management

The power management system incorporates an "automatic LCD dim" 
feature that automatically decides the best settings for your display and at the 
same time conserves power.
