Overview
Dell OptiPlex GX1 small-form-factor systems are high-speed, expandable personal computers designed
around the Intel® Pentium® II or III microprocessor. Each computer system uses a high-performance
Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCI) design that allows you to configure the computer system to your
initial requirements and then add Dell-supported upgrades as necessary.
System Features
Your system offers the following features:
An Intel Pentium II or Pentium III microprocessor.
The Intel Pentium II and Pentium III microprocessors include MMX™ technology designed to handle
complex multimedia and communications software. This microprocessor incorporates new instructions
and data types as well as a technique called single instruction, multiple data (SIMD) that allows the
microprocessor to process multiple data elements in parallel, thereby improving overall system
performance.
A keyboard
command
(<Ctrl><Alt><\>) that
lets you switch
between
the
microprocessor's
rated
speed
and a slower compatibility speed.
NOTE: This keyboard command is not available under the Microsoft® Windows NT® and
IBM® OS/2® operating systems.
A secondary cache of 512 KB of static random-access memory (SRAM) included within the single-edge
contact (SEC) cartridge, which also contains the microprocessor.
System memory that can be increased up to 768 megabytes (MB) by installing 32-, 64-, 128-, or 256-
MB synchronous dynamic RAM (SDRAM) dual in-line memory modules (DIMMs) in the three DIMM
sockets on the system board. The system also supports both error checking and correction (ECC) and
nonparity DIMMs. See "System Memory
" for details.
