System Overview


High performance and versatility are two essential factors in the success of the Apricot VS340 range.

Graphically Speaking

Graphical user interfaces such as Windows 95 and Windows NT have settled as the norm for all tasks from word processing to video editing. This is why all VS340 models include industry-leading graphic acceleration coprocessors to provide the very best on-screen performance. All models use PCI local bus technology to closely integrate the video circuitry. The Apricot VS340 systems feature the 64-bit ATI MACH 264 chipset with 1MB video RAM as standard.

Room to Manoeuvre

As software packages and the files that they create become ever-more space consuming, a high capacity hard drive with 850MB or 1.2GB of storage is included.

Faster than ever

With every new development in software, the demands placed on the computer's resources increase. The VS340 range has been designed to meet all these needs - and more.

In all models, EDO memory uses the latest technology to give faster throughput of data. Because the VS340 meets Apricot's own exacting performance standards, you can be sure that whatever additions you make, you can rely on them performing to the very best of their capabilities.

The Start of a Lasting Partnership

When your requirements change, so too will your VS340. Expanding each model is straightforward and, most importantly, fully industry standard. Each model uses widely available SIMM memory modules, processor upgrades, storage devices and expansion cards.

Features and Benefits

The VS340 series offer quality, reliability and performance in a low profile cost conscious package.

ATi MACH 264 VT graphics 64-bit PCI bus-master graphics accelerator provides sustained high performance for business applications.

Refresh rates up to 120Hz allow flicker-free images.

Up to 16.7Million colours (true-colour) in all system configurations allows correct colour matching for desk top publishing and graphical applications

Full range of drivers ensures maximum operating system choice.

Resolutions up to 1280 x 1024 for improved clarity.


Intel 430HX PCIset Optimized architecture includes features such as pipelining, data buffering and 100 MB/s PCI data streaming, maximising system throughput.

EDO Memory support 60ns EDO RAM provides higher performance levels than traditional Fast Page RAM.

Pentium Processor options Choice of 120MHz or 133MHz processors allows selection of most cost effective system for each user.

Intel Socket 7 Support for higher performance Pentium processors, providing easy upgrade path

256Kb Pipeline burst mode L2 cache Ensures maximum availability of data to the CPU, enhancing system throughput.

High performance Quantum hard disks Capacities of 850MB and 1.2GB provide ample storage for today's data-rich applications.

Metal case with keylock and security loop Acts as deterrent to component theft and ensures that all hardware in your system remains secure.

Software security Access to system and BIOS Setup can be limited by password control to prevent unauthorised use.

FD access can be disabled to prevent removal of data or virus infection.

Electronic fingerprinting allows ownership string to be permanently recorded in FLASH memory.


VESA DPMS and EPA Energy Star compliance Full energy star compliance reduces system ownership costs and prolongs system life.

3x4 desktop chassis 3 slot, 4 bay configuration allows scope for future system expansion in a slimline low profile desktop unit.

Plug and Play Easier upgrade path with reduced support costs.

PCI and ISA expansion Allows use of industry standard ISA and 32-bit PCI expansion cards offering increased upgrade flexibility.

Parallel port ECP/EPP Parallel port provides hi-performance bi-directional communication with intelligent printers.

Dual Serial ports 16550 UART allows high speed serial connections.

PS/2 Mouse port Dedicated mouse port ensures that both serial ports are available for use.

Comprehensive monitor range Choice of high quality, high specification units from the Value or Professional Monitor Range allows selection of correct model for each application.

The Apricot VS340 series meets the needs of the business user by providing industry standard PC specifications at highly competitive prices. Starting with entry level models that are amongst the most competitive in the industry without sacrificing quality, the range offers unequalled price/performance, ideally suited to the cost driven organisation.
