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 100MHz Pentium to the
latest 166MHz model. The standard 16MB of EDO high performance RAM can be expanded to
128MB, and there is a standard hard disk drive of 1.2GB. 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 dedicated PCI slots, two dedicated
ISA and an additional dual-standard slot. There are no less than six drive bays, and a 200
watt power supply to feed them all. The upgrading process has been well thought out too:
with facility for a faster Pentium OverDrive processor and up to 128MB of EDO 32-bit
memory can be mixed and matched in the four SIMM sockets.
Server Options
Drawing on Apricot's extensive
experience of the best server technology, the VS660 is also available in Server form.
VS660 Servers feature a high performance PCI SCSI controller, essential for hard working
server systems, and have 2GB SCSI hard drives as standard. The VS660 Server can support up
to 4GB of high performance SCSI disk storage and offers the latest high capacity tape
drives to keep that data secure. With Apricot's server technology, the VS660 Server is the
most cost-effective server system in it's class. |
