IBM PC 300 PL 290

IBM PC 300 PL 290 ... features and upgradeability for the future.

This model of the 300PL uses a 350MHz Pentium II processor, running on a fast 100MHz system bus. The Pentium II combines advanced 32-bit architecture and hardcoded MMX instructions into a processor that handles both standard business and multimedia applications with ease. 512K of L2 cache helps keep the Pentium II operating at peak efficiency. The 300PL ships with 32MB of 100MHz SDRAM installed, upgradeable to a maximum of 768MB for more demanding applications. The 4.2GB S.M.A.R.T. hard drive offers fast Ultra-ATA data transfer rates, up to 33MB/sec. The capacious drive should provide plenty of storage for most individual users, especially when connected to the additional storage resources of an office LAN. An S3 Trio 3D accelerator provides 64-bit AGP graphics output to the 300PL. The chip uses 4MB of SGRAM video memory, as well as standard AGP access to main system memory. It enables a maximum resolution of 1600 x 1200 at 65K colors. The 300PL comes with 16-bit sound provided by an integrated Crystal Audio 4235 chip. Standard jacks for headphones and microphones are also present. There is no CD-ROM drive with this model. Windows 98 comes pre-installed on the 300PL. Windows 98 features support for many recent technologies such as USB and AGP 2X, making it easy to upgrade your system with new devices. Intel's LANDesk Client Manager and Lotus SmartSuite are also included with the system. An integrated 10/100 Base-TX LAN controller is built into the 300PL, so the system is ready to hook into your network right out of the box. IBM has designed their 300PL series for easy integration into a variety of networked business environments.
