sockets, synchronous dynamic random access memory (SDRAM), communications network
riser (CNR) technology, and a plug and play input/output (I/O) controller.
The system also features three universal serial bus (USB) ports, a serial port (some systems
come with two ports), a parallel port, and a MIDI/game port. Ultra direct memory access
(DMA), remote wakeup (“Wake-On LAN”), accelerated graphics port (AGP), and power
management are supported.
Build choices include enhanced intelligent device electronics (EIDE) hard drives ranging from
10 gigabytes (GB) to 30 GB and higher. All drives feature Ultra DMA/66/100.
System memory is provided in 64-megabyte (MB) (minimum), 128-MB, or 256-MB DIMM
modules. Memory configurations range from 64 MB to 512 MB.
Additional build choices include a local area network (LAN) board, fax/modem board, and
peripheral devices such as a 48X maximum variable speed or higher compact disc read-only
memory (CD-ROM) drive, an 16X maximum variable speed or higher digital video
disc (DVD)-ROM drive, an 8X/4X/32X maximum variable speed or higher compact disc-
rewriteable (CD-RW) drive, and a 250-MB capacity Zip
