Reviewing System
Features

PowerMate NetPC systems are available in two basic
models with the following features:

Windows

95 operating system, 166-MHz Intel

Pentium

MMX processor, 16 MB (minimum) of

Synchronous Dynamic Random-Access Memory
(SDRAM), and a 2.0-GB IDE hard disk drive

Windows NT

4.0 operating system, a 200-MHz Intel

Pentium MMX processsor, 32 MB of SDRAM, and a
3.2-GB hard disk drive.

The MMX processor technology boosts audio, video, and
3D graphics performance.

Both PowerMate NetPC models come with an RJ-45
network connector and a video adapter with 2 MB of
Synchronous Graphics Random-Access Memory
(SGRAM).

Both models also contain audio/video components for
multimedia presentations and support optional memory
expansion modules. For further hardware enhancements,
both models contain a PCI expansion slot for adding an
optional, 1/2-length PCI board.

In addition, you may upgrade the system’s hard disk by
ordering one of several Ultra DMA/33-compatible IDE hard
disk options available from NECCSD.
