System Overview


The VS550 range from Apricot meets all the needs of the corporate or volume business user. Fully specified, with the very latest Pentium Pro processors, hard disks and advanced memory technology, every VS550 is designed to offer the widest possible choice of price and specification - so that you can put exactly the right model on each desktop, with no limits on processing power, speed, capacity or performance.

Processing Power

For maximum performance, suited for true 32-bit operating systems and applications, the latest Pentium Pro processors are ideal. Supplied with the latest 200MHz CPU these systems are at the leading edge of personal computing performance.

Faster than ever

With every new development in software, the demands placed on the computer's resources increase. The VS550 range has been designed to meet all these needs - and more.

Systems include DIMM memory technology, utilising high specification 60nS parts and benefiting from ECC protection for greater reliability, this provides a memory sub-system that has been designed specifically for the demands of Pentium Pro CPUs.

Sounds good

All models incorporate integrated SoundBlaster Vibra-16 audio from the market leader Creative Labs. This provides high quality business audio through the unit's built-in speaker, or, for maximum quality through external speakers.

USB Expansion

The VS550 Pentium Pro system has a dual USB port, allowing up to 127 devices to be attached per port. With USB, there is no more guesswork about which serial or parallel port to use, and devices can be added without requiring knowledge of IRQ settings, DMA channels or I/O addresses.

Desktop Management

Systems are compliant with the latest DMI manageability standards. With the addition of a DMI browser application for Windows NT 4 Workstation* asset management of the system can be undertaken either locally, or remotely via the network.

*Available from MEPCD Quarter 2, '97.

ECC DIMM Memory support 60ns ECC DIMM RAM provides improved system reliability.

16MB RAM as standard Sufficient memory for today's memory hungry GUI operating systems.

200MHz Pentium Pro Processor 200MHz processor provides leading edge performance.

On-chip 256KB level 2 cache ensures maximum data throughput.


Intel Socket 8 Support for future revisions of Pentium Pro processors, providing easy upgrade path.

Large, fast access HDD High performance Quantum 1.2GB hard disk provides sufficient 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.


5x5 desktop chassis 5 slot, 5 bay configuration provides scope for future system expansion.

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.

Dual USB ports Offers plug and play capabilities to 'out-of-box' peripherals, simplifying peripheral attachment and configuration.

Plug and Play Easier upgrade path with reduced support costs.

Creative Labs Vibra16 On-board, industry standard SoundBlaster 16-bit audio provides high quality sound through the systems internal speaker without reducing available expansion.

Microsoft Windows NT 4 operating system Enhancements in Windows NT take advantage of advanced features in the Intel Pentium Pro processor which enable applications to run faster and improve manageability of servers and desktop systems.

The Apricot VS 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.
