The Yamaha 724V-G audio processor is also integrated on the motherboard, meaning it s much harder to upgrade these subsystems. In fact, the only add-in card is the PCI US Robotics 56K VoiceWin modem. More impressive are the storage devices. You can transfer files from the 7.9GB Maxtor 90845D4 hard drive to either a 1.44MB floppy drive or a 100MB Iomega Zip drive. The latter comes with three 100MB Zip disks.
Build quality is excellent, with tool-free case access.
Further attention to detail is apparent in the software bundle, including MS-Works 4.5, Home Essentials 98, and McAffee VirusScan. Although the price also includes 64MB of RAM, not the 32MB used for testing, this system s high cost puts it out of contention as a budget system. All rights reserved.
