System Overview


For anyone who's moving their corporate computing along a Microsoft workgroup-style route, the new Apricot LS340 is the natural choice for the desktop. With thoroughbred performance and inspired design, no other machine is so perfectly equipped to explore the exciting possibilities of workgroup computing.

It's built on a high-performance chassis that features Pentium processing, coupled with local bus technology and high-speed hard disk systems. This stunning power base is brilliantly integrated with a remarkable range of special features, creating a real performance edge in key areas like networking, enhanced business audio, security, CD-ROM and graphics acceleration.

Multimedia for business

The Apricot LS340 is totally wired for sound, with integrated SoundBlaster Vibra-16 audio from the market leader Creative Labs, its own internal professional audio system. Coupled with the Sony quad speed CD-ROM, you can now have the benefit of high quality business audio through the units integral stereo speakers, digital mixing desk and FM synthesizer.

Now you're talking

Networking is an intrinsic part of the design, using an integrated network controller. It gives instant connection to all three key Ethernet standards, and - by taking over the networking load from the main processor - it gives you dramatically faster access to network data.

Inner space

Despite its slim, designer profile, there's no shortage of expansion room inside the Apricot LS340. With space for two fast IDE hard drives, and three ISA expansion slots - with a shared 32-bit PCI slot. A CD-ROM interface is standard, ready for simple, plug and go access to a wealth of information, graphical images and sounds. The Apricot LS340 is fully certified as a NetWare workstation.

Pick a Pentium

With the LS340 you choose precisely the processor you need. Even the entry model boasts at least a 100MHz Pentium processor, and the higher performance models come with a choice of 133MHz or 166MHz processors.

Faster than ever

With every new development in software, the demands placed on the computers resources increase. The LS340 range has been designed to meet all these needs - and more.
