The Flash ROM allows the system and video BIOS to be upgraded with the BIOS Update utility, without having to physically remove the ROM (see Section 2 for further information on the BIOS Update utility). The Flash ROM supports the reprogramming of the system BIOS and the video BIOS.

System Memory

The system comes with between 32 MB and 256 MB of SDRAM installed in DIMM sockets on the system board.

The memory configuration consists of two sockets. The DIMM sockets accept 168-pin, 64-bit (non-ECC) 16-, 32-, 64-, and 128-MB DIMMs. See “DIMM Sockets” for a list of supported DIMMs.

Plug and Play

The system comes with a Plug and Play BIOS in support of Plug and Play technology. Plug and Play simplifies setup procedures for installing Plug and Play expansion boards. With Plug and Play, adding a Plug and Play expansion board is done by turning off the system, installing the board, and turning on the system. There are no jumpers to set and no system resource conflicts to resolve. Plug and Play automatically configures the board. (Some Plug and Play devices may need to be jumpered if used in a system running the Windows NT® operating system.)

ISA Bus

The system board uses the ISA bus for transferring data between the processor and some I/O peripherals and expansion boards. The ISA bus supports 16-bit data transfers and typically operates at 8 MHz.

PCI Local Bus

The 32-bit PCI local bus is the primary I/O bus for the system. The PCI bus is a highly integrated I/O interface that offers the highest performance local bus available for the Celeron or Pentium processor. The bus supports burst modes that send large amounts of data across the bus, allowing fast displays of high- resolution images.

The PCI local bus is a high-performance bus that provides a processor- independent data path between the CPU and high-speed peripherals. The PCI bus is a robust interconnect mechanism designed specifically to accommodate multiple high performance peripherals for graphics and full motion video.

The PCI local bus supports memory transfer rates of over 100 MB per second for reads and over 120 MB per second for writes, depending on processor configuration.
