Universal Serial Bus (USB) capability, which can simplify connecting peripheral devices such as mice, printers, and computer
speakers. The USB connectors on your computer's back panel, which are enabled by default, provide a single connection

is running.
A modular computer chassis with a minimum number of screws for easy disassembly and improved serviceability.

Hardware Features

The system board includes the following built-in features:

Three expansion slots on a riser board: one 32-bit PCI expansion slot, one shared PCI (32-bit)/ISA (16-bit) expansion slot,
and one 16-bit ISA expansion slot.
A 64-bit baseline accelerated graphics port (AGP) video subsystem, which includes the ATI Rage II C super video graphics
array (SVGA) video controller. This video subsystem contains 2 MB (upgradable to 4 MB) of synchronous graphics random-
access memory (SGRAM) video memory. Maximum resolutions are 1600 x 1200 with 256 colors noninterlaced and 1280 x
1024 with 65,536 colors noninterlaced. In 1024 x 768, 800 x 600, and 640 x 480 resolutions, 16. 7 million colors are
available for true-color graphics using a 32-bits per pixel (bpp) format. True-color provides higher performance, but it uses

more graphics memory. Table 1-1 displays the video memory requirements for the Microsoft Windows

®

95 and Windows NT

4.0 operating systems.

These resolutions and refresh rates may not be available on all monitors.
