System Overview


The Apricot VS660 combines robustness and value for money in a mini-tower chassis that provides massive room for expansion. Now there's virtually no limit to your choice when it comes to specifying your business PC. Because it comes with only the components you need, there's no cost burden of unwanted frills and features with the VS660. You can start with the exact combination of processor, memory and hard disk you need, and then add whatever else you want: scanner, tape streamer, additional hard drives, CD-ROM, sound card, modem - almost without limit. Because the VS660 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.

Highly Specified

From a fast 166MHz Pentium to the latest 200MHz Pentium with MMX processor; from 16MB to a massive 256MB of EDO high performance RAM, and there is a standard hard disk drive of 1.2GB or 2.1GB. Every component is chosen from the best available to ensure that the VS660 lives up to the promise of the Apricot name: from the fast PCI internal bus, to the accelerated PCI graphics sub-system.

Expandable and upgradeable

The VS660 does more than just provide room for expansion: it offers a choice of three PCI slots and four ISA slots. There are no less than six drive bays, and a 200 watt power supply to feed them all.

USB

The VS660 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.

DMI Compliant

Systems are supplied with a DMI browser application, allowing asset management of the system to be undertaken locally or remotely via a network. The Windows 95 version offers additional features such as configuration management and pre-emptive drive failure notification, reducing total cost of system ownership.

Features and Benefits

The VS660 series offer world class quality, reliability and performance in a highly expandable mini-tower chassis.

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.

Pentium Processor options Pentium 166MHz provides low cost entry level system.

Pentium Processor with MMX Technology 166 or 200MHz MMX processors provide maximum performance levels.
32KB on-chip L1 cache provides improved performance for all software applications.
Applications optimised for MMX technology:- video, audio, graphical and communication based tasks may show a boost of up to 400%.
Latest processor technology ensures system longevity.

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.

16/32MB RAM as standard Sufficient memory for today's memory hungry GUI operating systems. Expandable to a maximum of 256MB ensures system longevity.

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 1.2GB or 2.1GB hard disk High performance hard disk drives provide ample storage for today's data-rich applications.

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

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 conections.

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

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 permamently recorded in FLASH memory.

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

6 x 6 mini-tower chassis 6 slot, 6 bay, configuration allows scope for future system expansion in a compact mini-tower unit.

Plug and Play Easier upgrade path with reduced support costs.

DMI Compliant DMI offers an industry standard method of desktop management. This can assist in reducing the total cost of ownership of these systems.

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

The Apricot VS660 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.
