Built for demanding professional environments, the IBM ThinkCentre M50 (81894MU) offers all the tools you need to crunch spreadsheets and create business presentations. It features mechanical modifications that improve airflow and reduced noise. This mid-priced desktop offers a 3.0 GHz Intel Pentium 4 processor, super-fast Gigabit Ethernet connectivity, 40 GB hard drive, 512 MB of installed RAM, Windows XP Professional, included keyboard and optical wheel mouse, floppy drive, and DVD-ROM drive. And it features IBM's Promise of Value (POV), which executes all private key-related Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) operations right on the chip, and encrypts and decrypts files, folders and messages with 1024-bit digital signature and up to 256-bit key exchange. The Basics Hard Drive: The ATA-100 (Enhanced IDE) 40 GB (7200 RPM) hard drive is small in comparison with other desktop PCs in this price range, but it's understandable due to its classification as a business professional computer (where much data is shared and stored on networked servers). Processor: The 3.0 GHz Intel Pentium 4 processor offers the speed you'll need for today's demanding office productivity software and multimedia presentations. It features a fast 800 MHz front-side bus (FSB), which measures how fast a processor and the main memory communicate, and a 1 MB L2 cache. (An L2, or secondary, cache temporarily stores data; and a larger L2 cache can help speed up your system's performance.) Memory: The 512 MB of installed RAM (PC2700, 333 MHz) will get you started, but you'll want to add more to handle any kind of multimedia application and today's processor-intensive business productivity suites. This desktop has a 4 GB maximum RAM capacity. CD/DVD Drive: This desktop includes a 16x DVD-ROM drive (8x speed is required to watch DVD movie discs), which enables you to view CDs with files, play music CDs, and watch movies on DVD. Keyboard & Mouse: The ThinkCenter M50 comes with an IBM Preferred Pro full-size keyboard (PS/2) and an IBM USB optical wheel mouse. Chassis Design It's encased in a durable black steel chassis that offers maximum flexibility for servicing and upgrading components inside the M50. Toolless-entry design makes upgrades easier and repairs faster with a cover that can be opened without tools, plus toolless slots and internal bays that flip up to allow components to slide out. ThinkCentre M50 desktops also feature an innovative 'caddy' that surrounds the hard disk drive, locking it into place without the use of tools or screws. Rubber bumpers on the caddy decrease vibration and deliver quieter operation. Other mechanical improvements have been made to the overall design of the ThinkCentre PCs, including improved airflow and reduced noise. Screen, Graphics and Sound The integrated Intel Extreme Graphics 2 based graphics will be fine for business productivity software suites, Web browsing, and general purpose computing. It will produce a maximum resolution of 2048 x 1536 pixels and up to 16.7 million colors. It also features integrated SoundMax Cadenza audio and an internal mono speaker.
