System Overview

T

he 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 com-
puter. 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.

ystem Features

In addition to the standard features found in IBM

®

-compatible portable com-

puters, 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 mod-
ule sockets on the main board.
