Chapter 1 System Overview The Dell® Inspiron™ 3000 series is a family of expandable multimedia porta- ble computers that use the Intel® Pentium® and Pentium II microprocessors with MMX™ technology. This chapter provides an overview of the components and subsystems of these computers. The individual model names within the Inspiron 3000 series indicate the type and operating frequency of the microprocessor and the display used in the computer. For example: • The Inspiron 3000 M166ST contains a 166-MHz Pentium microprocessor with MMX technology and an SVGA (S) active-matrix (T) TFT LCD. • The Inspiron 3000 M200ST contains a 200-MHz Pentium microprocessor with MMX technology and an SVGA (S) active-matrix (T) TFT LCD. • The Inspiron 3000 M233ST contains a 233-MHz Pentium microprocessor with MMX technology and an SVGA (S) active-matrix (T) TFT LCD. • The Inspiron 3000 M233XT contains a 233-MHz Pentium microprocessor with MMX technology and an XGA (X) active-matrix (T) TFT LCD. • The Inspiron 3000 M266XT contains a 266-MHz Pentium microprocessor with MMX technology and an XGA (X) active-matrix (T) TFT LCD. • The Inspiron 3200 D233ST contains a 233-MHz Pentium II microprocessor with MMX technology and an SVGA (S) active-matrix (T) TFT LCD. • The Inspiron 3200 D233XT contains a 233-MHz Pentium II microprocessor with MMX technology and an XGA (X) active-matrix (T) TFT LCD. • The Inspiron 3200 D266XT contains a 266-MHz Pentium II microprocessor with MMX technology and an XGA (X) active-matrix (T) TFT LCD. System Features In addition to the standard features found in IBM®-compatible portable computers, the Dell Inspiron 3000 series computers include the following new and/ or advanced features: • 32 MB of SDRAM consisting of 16 MB of nonremovable main memory on the main board and a 16-MB memory module in one of the two memory module sockets. The memory capacity can be increased up to 144 MB by installing 16-, 32-, or 64-MB 3.3-V memory modules in the memory module sockets on the main board. System Overview 1-1
