Central Processing Unit (CPU)
The microprocessor (CPU) is the key hardware feature; it is the brain of the
computer, performing all the computing functions and orchestrating the actions of
the system.
The TransPort TREK 2 supports the Intel Coppermine, Celeron, Pentium II and
Pentium II PE processors. All supported Intel processors are available with MMX
technology. The MMX media enhancement technology was designed specifically
for faster processing of multimedia and communications tasks. The TREK 2 also
employs the Intel 440BX core logic.
L2 Cache
The TREK 2 supports a 512KB L2 write back cache with synchronous pipeline
burst mode, 128 KB or 256KB of full bus speed on-die L2 write back cache with
synchronous pipeline burst mode. The external cache enhances system
performance, especially in the Windows environment.
Upgradeable System Memory
The TREK 2 has a 64-bit memory bus. Memory can be upgraded to 256MB by the
following options:
•
One or two 32, 64, or 128MB 144-pin, 3.3V, SDRAM SO-DIMM modules.
Display
The LCD assembly comes with either of the following display options:
•
12.1" TFT SVGA, 800 x 600 x 64K color resolution
•
14.1" TFT XGA, 1024 x 768 x 64K color resolution
VGA Graphics Accelerator
The video subsystem includes 16MB of SGRAM video memory, a 3D graphics
engine, and a high performance AGP 2X Bus with support for full power
management. The video subsystem supports a ZV (Zoomed Video) port and
simultaneous display (Simulscan) in all video modes.
Removable Hard Disk Drive
Module
The TREK 2 comes with a 2.5" (12.7mm maximum height) hard disk installed. The
HDD supports PIO mode 4 and ultra DMA 33. The hard drive can also be easily
removed and replaced with a second hard drive for expansion. The TREK 2
supports HDDs with capacities of 1.44GB or above, and supports Ultra DMA/33
transfers allowing data transfer rates up to 33 MB per second.
Removable CD-ROM
The high speed built-in CD-ROM drive can be swapped with a Digital Versatile
Disk (DVD) ROM drive, or a second HDD.
