System Memory
Non-multimedia systems come standard with 16 MB of memory: 640 KB of base memory
and 15 MB of extended memory. Most other configurations come with a 2.0-GB hard disk
and 16 MB of memory: 640 KB of base memory and 15 MB of extended memory.
Multimedia configurations ship with a 3.0-GB hard disk drive and 32 MB of system
memory. System memory can be expanded up to 384 MB using optional single in-line
memory modules (SIMMs) installed in SIMM sockets on the system board.
Six SIMM sockets are integrated on the system board. Non-multimedia systems ship with
two 8-MB SIMMs (16 MB total) installed in two sockets. The 32-MB systems ship with
two 16-MB SIMMs installed.
The SIMM memory sockets accept 32-bit (non-parity) or 36-bit (parity) 4-, 8-, 16-, 32- or
64-MB 60 ns Extended Data Output (EDO) or Fast Page Mode (FPM) SIMMs. The
SIMMs are 1 MB x 32 bit (4 MB), 2 MB x 32 bit (8 MB), 4 MB x 32 bit (16 MB), 8 MB x
32 bit (32 MB), and 16 MB x 32 bit (64 MB). When the standard SIMMs are removed, six
64-MB SIMMs (FPM only – when available) may be installed for a total of 384 MB.
CAUTION:
SIMMs must match the tin metal
plating used on the system board SIMM sockets.
When adding SIMMs, use tin-plated SIMMs.
SIMMs install directly in the six sockets on the system board. The six sockets are assigned
as SIMM 1 through SIMM 6. Each pair of SIMM sockets are called banks. There are three
SIMM banks (labeled bank 0, 1, and 2). Systems ship with the two standard SIMMs
installed in SIMM sockets 1 and 2. SIMMs must be installed in pairs of the same memory
type. Jumpers are not required to set memory size or type as the system BIOS automatically
detects the SIMMs. See Section 3, “Option Installation” for the recommended SIMM
memory upgrade paths.
Integrated Graphics
The system has an ATI GT-B PCI 64-bit 3-D multimedia graphics and video controller
integrated on the system board. State of the art techniques are used for optimizing
performance in computer graphic intensive applications and graphical user interfaces (GUI).
Features include:
DDC rev 2b compliance
video acceleration and 3-D rendering
full screen Native video playback
2 MB of synchronous graphics random-access memory (SGRAM).
