!

The system comes with an Intel
®
Celeron

533-MHz or higher
processor with a 100-MHz or higher front side bus (FSB) or a

®
III 667-MHz or higher processor with a 133-MHz or higher

Audio features
The system comes with sound integrated on the system board. The
chipset on the system board gives you a surround sound system for

also provides wavetable synthesis. (Wavetable synthesis uses actual
recordings of real sound effects and musical instruments for a
dynamic audio experience.)

and play support, and flash support for easy and economical BIOS
upgrades.
!

dynamic random
access memory (RDRAM). The system supports up to 256 MB of
RDRAM in each RIMM socket, for a total of 512 MB RDRAM.

Power management options
The system comes with power management features that help you
conserve energy and reduce power costs (see “Power Management

Software
NECC provides a variety of applications and hardware utilities with your
system to let you take advantage of your hardware capabilities.
Preloaded Software
Your system comes preloaded with the Microsoft
®
Windows

operating system or the Windows 2000/Windows NT
®
operating system
configuration.
If you have a Windows 2000/Windows NT configuration, you must
choose the operating system you want to load. The operating system you
choose is your only operating system and is the one that the NEC OS
Restore program restores.
