A Pentium III processor running at 100MHz gives this PC more than sheer speed. The Pentium III's new SSE (Streaming SIMD Extensions) instruction set delivers enhanced 3D imaging, smoother audio and video processing that improve speech recognition and video conferencing software, increased power for running background tasks, and more. This level of computing power gives your programmers, engineers and graphic artists the tools they need to produce their best work. 128 MB of 100MHz SDRAM comes installed in this DeskPro EN model, and three 168-pin DIMM slots allow for memory expansion up to a 384 MB maximum. A whopping 10 GB hard drive provides plenty of storage space for the latest advanced software titles and all your large multimedia, 3D modelling, and similar files. SMART II self-monitoring technology allows the drive to report impending failures before they occur, giving you the opportunity to back up important data. ATI's Rage Pro Turbo graphics card is installed in the DeskPro EN's AGP slot. Equipped with 8 MB of video memory, the card is capable of excellent color depth at high screen resolutions. Compaq's PremierSound ESS 1869 audio chipset is embedded in the motherboard and produces SoundBlaster-compatible 3D full-duplex sound output. Rounding out the DeskPro's multimedia features is a fast 32X CD-ROM drive. |
