Amazon.com Product Description
The IBM ThinkCentre A51 (842224U) tower desktop system bring the best blend of essential features and technology to businesses small and growing at an affordable price, including a wealth of security features and Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 900 video/graphics card. It features a hyper-threaded 3.0 GHz Pentium 4 processor, an 80 GB hard drive, 256 MB of built-in RAM (which can max out at 4 GB), Windows XP Professional, super-fast Gigabit Ethernet connectivity, included keyboard and optical wheel mouse, floppy drive, and CD-RW drive.

The Basics

Hard Drive: The ATA-100 (Enhanced IDE) 80 GB (7200 RPM) hard drive is average in comparison with other workstation desktop PCs in this price range, and it's understandable due to its classification as a business professional computer (where much data is shared and stored on networked servers).
Processor: The hyper-threaded 3.0 GHz Intel Pentium 4 530 processor is at the low end of the spectrum for this processor (as of June 2005). Its hyper-threading feature allows this single CPU system to behave in some aspects like a dual-CPU system, helping to deliver faster transistors and increased performance. It also features a fast 800 MHz front-side bus speed, 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.)
A Hyper-Threading processor helps a PC to run multiple demanding applications at the same time. This technology enables the processor to execute two threads (a part of a program) in parallel, boosting performance during key high-drain procedures. This results in more efficient software performance (such as faster reaction times in gaming applications) and enhanced multitasking.
Memory: The 256 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 CD-RW drive, with 48x write/read and 32x rewrite speed for CDs.
Keyboard & Mouse: The ThinkCenter A51 comes with an IBM Preferred Pro full-size keyboard (PS/2) and an IBM USB optical wheel mouse.

Screen, Graphics and Sound
Video and graphics are powered by the Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 900, which uses Intel Dynamic Video Memory Technology (DVMT) and provides 64 MB of shared video memory. It will produce a maximum resolution of 1920 x 1200 pixels. It also features integrated SoundMax Cadenza audio and an internal mono speaker.

Connectivity and Expansion Slots
This A51 model has a good assortment of expansion capabilities for the office. It features a 3.5-inch, 1.44 MB floppy drive, and has the following external connectivity ports:

6 USB 2.0 ports for connecting a wide range of peripherals--from digital cameras to MP3 players
1 serial port
1 parallel port
1 VGA monitor port
1 headphone jack and 1 microphone jack
1 audio line-in and 1 audio line-out

It also has an integrated 56K modem (V.90) and an RJ-45 LAN network port (for a 10Base-T/100Base-TX/1000Base-T Ethernet connection to networks and DSL/cable modems).

Preloaded System and Software
This desktop comes with the Windows XP Professional operating system (which adds Microsoft's IIS Web server, back-up and recovery utilities, Remote Desktop, and other enhanced business features). It also comes preloaded with Norton Antivirus 2004 (3 months subscription), PC Doctor, IBM RecordNow, and IBM Rescue and Recovery with Rapid Restore.

Dimensions and Weight
This desktop measures 6.9 x 17.7 x 19.4 inches (WxDxH) and weighs 23.1 pounds.

What's in the Box
This package contains the ThinkCentre A51 842224U desktop PC, keyboard, mouse, and power cord.
