Amazon.com Product Description
The IBM ThinkCentre A50 (814713U) 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's Extreme Graphics 2 video card with Dynamic Video Memory Technology. It features a 2.8 GHz Pentium 4 processor, a 40 GB hard drive, 256 MB of built-in RAM (which can max out at 4 GB), Windows XP Professional, included keyboard and optical wheel mouse, floppy drive, and CD-ROM drive.

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 2.8 GHz Intel Pentium 4 processor offers the speed you'll need for today's demanding office productivity software and multimedia presentations. It features a decently fast 400 MHz front-side bus (FSB), which measures how fast a processor and the main memory communicate, and a 512 KB 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 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 comes only with a 48x CD-ROM drive.
Keyboard & Mouse: The ThinkCenter A50 comes with an IBM Preferred Pro full-size keyboard (PS/2) and an IBM USB optical wheel mouse.

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.

Connectivity and Expansion Slots
This A50 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

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

Preloaded System and Software
