High
Performance with Intel® Pentium® M Processor and Intel® 855GM
ChipsetThe Dell Latitude
D400 features the latest Intel Pentium M processors, which utilize a
new micro-architecture incorporating a power-optimized 400MHz
processor system bus and aggressive clock gating designed for high
performance & low power. These processors also feature up to 2MB of
power managed cache and enhanced Intel SpeedStep® Technology. The
D400 also incorporates the Intel® 855GM chipset, which offers
integrated graphics capability and USB 2.0 support. The integrated
graphics utilizes the system memory as a shared resource for both
system memory and graphics needs, dynamically allocating a portion
of the memory to graphics based on the graphic demands of the
applications currently in use. Up to 64MB of memory can be allocated
to graphics, and with integrated video acceleration, you can view
high quality, full frame rate DVDs on your notebook or connected
external display with exceptionally low power consumption. |
