What Your IBM personal computer offers This section describes many of the features of PC 300PL and PC 300GL models. To view the hardware features specific to your system, see "Viewing the system summary" on page 66. Microprocessor Your computer is equipped with either an Intel® Pentium II™, an Intel Celeron™, or an Intel Pentium III™ processor. All of these MMX™ microprocessors supply the speed and power you need to take advantage of even the most complex programs. In addition, the microprocessor incorporates new multimedia extensions into the Intel architecture, which improves the performance of multimedia and communications applications by accelerating calculations commonly performed for audio, video, speech synthesis and recognition, 2D and 3D graphics, and data communications. Note: To view the speed of the microprocessor in your computer, see "Viewing the system summary" on page 66. Also, L2 cache memory, which helps speed the exchange of information between the microprocessor and system memory, is standard on some models. System memory If your computer contains an Intel Pentium II or Pentium III processor, it comes standard with nonparity or ECC (error checking and correction) 100 MHz SDRAM (synchronous dynamic random access memory). If your computer contains an Intel Celeron processor, it comes standard with nonparity 100 MHz SDRAM. These types of memory use advanced technology to increase system performance. Note: To view the amount of system memory in your computer, see "Viewing the system summary" on page 66. PCI bus Your computer has a PCI (peripheral component interconnect) bus. PCI is an advanced input/output (I/O) bus standard developed by the computer industry to keep up with performance improvements of microprocessor buses and advanced peripheral devices. The PCI bus adds to the capability of the ISA bus, speeding up the exchange of information among the microprocessor and peripheral devices within your computer system. This improves the overall performance of your computer. 4 Using Your Personal Computer
