In addition to the standard features found in a traditional personal computer,
the Dell Dimension V
xxx and Vxxxc systems include the following:
An Intel Pentium II microprocessor with MMX technology, that is specifi-
cally designed to handle complex multimedia and communications
software, or an Intel Celeron microprocessor with MMX technology.
An L1 cache of 32 KB of static random-access memory (SRAM) residing in
the processor core.
For a Pentium II processor, an L2 cache of 512 KB of SRAM on a separate
chip on the processor card. The L2 cache runs at half the processor’s inter-
nal clock speed.
For a Celeron processor, an L2 cache of 128 KB of SRAM residing in the
processor core. The L2 cache runs at full processor clock speed.
Main memory consisting of 32 to 384 MB of synchronous dynamic RAM
(SDRAM) DIMMs.
Two full-length 32-bit PCI expansion slots for connecting high-speed PCI
peripherals to the PCI bus—greatly increasing their input/output (I/O)
speeds over the speeds attainable using the ISA bus.
One full-length 16-bit ISA expansion slot.
One shared full-length PCI expansion slot containing both a PCI and an ISA
expansion-card connector, only one of which can be used at any given
time.
Both PCI and ISA Plug and Play support.
An integrated diskette drive interface that supports a single diskette drive
without the need for a controller card.
Two enhanced integrated drive electronics (EIDE) interfaces on the PCI bus
support up to two EIDE devices each. Supported devices include Advanced
Technology Attachment (ATA)-33 Ultra direct memory access (DMA) hard-
disk drives, CD-ROM drives, and tape drives.
Onboard ATI Rage Pro (2X) AGP video controller with 8 MB of video
SDRAM. The 133-MHz AGP video controller uses its own dedicated graph-
ics bus and significantly enhances 3D graphics. A video feature connector
for graphics attachments is also on the system board.
An integrated high-performance serial port and a bidirectional parallel port.
Two USB connectors, which can simplify connecting peripheral devices.
A PS/2-style keyboard port and a PS/2-compatible mouse port.
Dell Dimension V
xxx and Vxxxc systems are available with either an on-
board network interface controller (NIC) or an onboard audio controller.
For systems with onboard network capabilities, a 10/100-megabit-per-
second (Mbps) Intel PRO 10/100 82558 NIC provides all the functions of a
separate network card and supports both the 10BASE-T and 100BASE-TX
Ethernet standards.
