Dual-Channel PC2-5300 DDR2 667MHz 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 laptops.

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.

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, 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. With up to 4 GB/s of peak bandwidth per direction, and up to 8 GB/s concurrent bandwidth, a platform configured with a PCI Express x16 graphics card can tackle the most demanding multimedia tasks.

Microsoft® Windows® Vista Business Edition.  Windows Vista introduces a breakthrough user experience and is designed to help you feel confident in your ability to view, find, and organize information and to control your computing experience. The visual sophistication of Vista helps streamline your computing experience by refining common window elements so you can better focus on the content on the screen rather than on how to access it. The desktop experience is more informative, intuitive, and helpful. And new tools bring better clarity to the information on your computer, so you can see what your files contain without opening them, find applications and files instantly, navigate among open windows, and use wizards and dialog boxes more confidently.
