I updated that page this week with the following information that was
provided to me by Brian Murphy:
The other new configuration that replaces the Dell GX110 is as follows:
* Pentium III Processor 1.0GHz/133MHz
* 512 MB Non ECC PC133 SDRAM, 2 Dimm
* 20GB 7200RPM EIDE hard drive
* 8x CD-RW
* 1.44MB floppy drive
* Intergrated 10/100Mb Ethernet
* 16MB PCI graphics card
* Sound Blaster Audio PCI sound card
* 19-inch Dell P991 Trinitron
Note: This system must be purchased as it is listed
and cannot be modified in any way.
NECX SKU 161184
