Overview

Dell OptiPlex GX1 low-profile Managed PC systems are high-speed, expandable personal computers designed around the Intel® Pentium® II and Pentium III microprocessors. Each computer system uses a high-performance Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCI) design that allows you to configure the computer system to your initial requirements and then add Dell-supported upgrades as necessary. These systems also support the Industry-Standard Architecture (ISA) bus for older expansion devices.

System Features

Your system offers the following features:

An Intel Pentium II or Pentium III microprocessor.

The Intel Pentium II and Pentium III microprocessors include MMX™ technology designed to handle complex multimedia and communications software. This microprocessor incorporates new instructions and data types as well as a technique called single instruction, multiple data (SIMD) that allows the microprocessor to process multiple data elements in parallel, thereby improving overall system performance.

A keyboard command (<Ctrl><Alt><\>) that lets you switch between the microprocessor's rated speed and a slower compatibility speed.

NOTE: This keyboard command is not available under the Microsoft® Windows NT® and IBM® OS/2® operating systems.

A secondary cache of 512 kilobytes (KB) of static random-access memory (SRAM) included within the single-edge contact (SEC) cartridge, which also contains the microprocessor.

System memory that can be increased up to 768 megabytes (MB) by installing 32-, 64-, 128-, or 256- MB synchronous dynamic random-access memory (SDRAM) dual in-line memory modules (DIMMs) in
