The Basics

media files, and productivity software.

for low-power mobile usage, and it features the latest in power-saving technologies--ensuring
you push your battery and productivity to the max. It also has a large 2 MB L2
cache--which will help speed up your system's performance--and a 400 MHz front-side
bus (FSB).
- Memory: The 512 MB of built-in memory (2 x 256 MB, DDR SDRAM,
PC2700, 333 MHz) is a good start for power users. It has two memory slots in total,
