Dual-Channel PC2-4200 DDR2 533MHz Performance Enhanced Memory.  There are several performance enhancements that DDR2 has over standard DDR SDRAM.  Chief among these is the ability to read & write 4X as much data per clock cycle. (4-bit prefetch) This cutting edge technology doubled the data bus speed from 1600MB/s to 3200MB/s, while maintaining the same 64-bit interface and low frequency found on DDR.  Another cool benefit of DD2 is that it consumes much less power than DDR, making it not only faster, but also more efficient.  And apart from these major differences, DDR2 also has a tremendous amount of room for overclocking, which is something that all performance hounds will find quite appealing.

Hitachi® Travelstar® Advanced 2.5" Serial ATA Hard Disk Drive.  The Travelstar 7K100 is Hitachi's second generation 7200 RPM 2.5-inch hard disk drive which offers leading-edge capacity, performance, durability and power utilization on a proven product platform. With its 100 GB capacity, the 7K100 provides 66% more storage space as well as a 33% boost in sustained data rate over the record-setting Travelstar 7K60. This combination of capacity, speed, durability, quiet operation and optimum power efficiency on a proven platform for quality and reliability, enables the 7K100 to deliver desktop-like performance to notebook PCs.  

Serial ATA was designed to overcome a number of limitations of Parallel ATA. The most significant limitation of Parallel ATA is the difficulty in increasing the data rate beyond 100 MBytes/s. Parallel ATA uses a single-ended signaling system that is prone to induced noise. Increasing the Parallel data rate beyond 100 MBytes/s would require a new signaling system that would not be backward compatible with existing systems. Hard disk drives, such as the Travelstar® 7K100, currently outrun the 100 MByte/s data transfer rate.  As a result, a new interface system has been defined to accommodate the faster processing capabilities of next generation high-speed desktop, notebook and entry-server architectures.

Intel® Graphics Media Accelerator 950. The new Intel® Graphics Media Accelerator 950 (Intel® GMA 950) graphics core is an intelligent and responsive graphics engine built into the chipset that is on the motherboard. This integration provides incredible visual quality, faster graphics performance and flexible display options without the need for a separate graphics card.

If you want to watch video on your PC, then utilize Intel GMA 950 graphics for smooth video playback, native 16:9 format support for wide screen flat panels, motion compensation for smooth DVD playback and support for popular HDTV display formats. The media experience is even better when your PC also includes Intel® High Definition Audio (Intel® HD Audio)

802.11G Internal Wireless Networking Module.  Wi-Fi®, or Wireless Fidelity, allows you to connect to the internet from virtually anywhere at speeds of up to 54Mbps. Wi-Fi-enabled computers and handsets use radio technologies based on the IEEE 802.11 standard to send and receive data anywhere within the range of a base station.  With this integrated wireless module, you can now access hotspots & freespots around your town or when traveling abroad.  Hotspots are wireless networks that allow you to connect to the internet at high broadband speeds.  These can be found at airports, coffee shops, book stores, hotels etc.  Freespots, are the same exact wireless network, except there is no fee to connect to them.  These can be found everywhere.  You just have to find them, and voila, free broadband internet.

Integrated Cutting Edge Bluetooth Wireless Technology.  The desk has gone from being covered with papers to being covered with wires. For each device that has been added to the electronic workers toolbox there are at least two required wires, and sometimes more. Mice, keyboards, PDA's, phone sync cables, digital cameras, etc. Not only do all these wires create a mess, they are also difficult to manage. Which cable goes with which device? If I travel, what do I take with me? Bluetooth wireless technology provides device connections without the mess. Use Bluetooth mice and keyboards to clean up the desktop and use Bluetooth enabled phones and PDA's to simplify synchronization.

PCI Express™ Architecture.  PCI Express is the most significant update to pc architecture in the past decade. PCI Express is a new I/O technology designed to allow computer systems to scale to new levels of performance. In addition to higher frequencies and bandwidth, it offers many advantages over existing AGP/PCI architectures, including simplified PCB routing, advanced power management, robust error recovery and hot plugging.and swapping, virtual channels and traffic classes. The PCI Express x16 graphics interface delivers increased bandwidth and scalability over previous generation AGP8X-based solutions.

Intel High Definition 8-Channel Audio System.  Intel has worked with the industry to develop a new specification for integrated audio that is capable of delivering the features and high-end performance of an add-in audio card. Intel High Definition Audio (Intel HD Audio) is capable of playing back more channels at higher quality than previous integrated audio formats.

Intel HD Audio is capable of delivering the support and sound quality for up to 8 channels at 192kHz/32-bit quality. In addition, Intel HD Audio is architected to prevent the occasional glitches or pops that other audio solutions can have by providing dedicated system bandwidth for critical audio functions.

Intel HD Audio also provides improvements that support jack re-tasking. The computer can sense when a device is plugged into an audio jack, determine what kind of device it is, and change the port function if the device has been plugged into the wrong port. For example, if a microphone is plugged into a speaker jack, the computer will recognize the error and can change the jack to function as a microphone jack. This is an important step in getting audio to a point where it just works' -- users won't need to worry about. Letting the right device plugged into the right audio jack. Designed for "glitch-free" audio playback, multi-streaming, jack re-tasking and UAA support, Intel HD Audio offers an audio solution for years to come.
