Dell Optiplex SX260

Dell with style and power in mind, was able to design a small but utterly efficient computer which is the SX260, a part of the Optiplex family.

It runs on a Pentium 4 2.0 Gigahertz processor along with a 256 Megabytes of system RAM. A 40 Gigabyte IDE hard disk for just the right amount of space for the user.

The motherboard with a 845G Chipset by Intel running a Pentium 4 2.0 Ghz, which can be upgraded to 2.8 Gigahertz and the memory also can be upgraded up to 2 Gigabytes of RAM.

Imagine, a 9.7 * 3.5 * 9.5 inch PC running such power?

The motheboard though has one big problem, it has no option for any PCI cards nor an AGP Video Card for expansion.

The SX260 is powered by GMCH or Graphics and Memory Controller Hub which is integrated on the motherboard which is hotwired to the motherboard chipset.

Another downfall on this model by DELL is the option for a secondary hard drive. Though the motherboard's BIOS supports up to 250 Gigabyte drive. There is only one bay for a 2.5 INCH Hard Drive.

There are FOUR *4* USB 2.0 Ports at the back and TWO *2* at the front below the DELL Logo.

The SX260 is driven by Intel's AC'97 Audio which features Stereo Conversion of 16-Bit analog to digital and 20-Bit digital to analog which is quite a boost for an integrated sound card.

Two audio ports can be found both at the back and the front of the SX260. One is for the Stereo out and the other for the Microphone In at the front and Back.

A standard PS/2 plug for the keyboard and the mouse.

The SX260 only supports the memory frequency of 266 Megahertz with capacities of 128Mb, 256Mb, 512Mb, and 1 Gigabyte modules.

With this Computer, attach it to the wall with some mounting screws and plug in a 22" or 32" Wide LCD Display, and this computer packs quite a punch in the graphics; most especially the Video Rendering.
