Dell Announces Two New Dimension Desktop Computers; New Models Offer Powerful Performance At Affordable Price.Business Editors AUSTIN, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 21, 2002 Dell (Nasdaq:DELL) today announced two new Dimension(tm) desktop computers, the Dimension 4500 and Dimension 4500S, to suit wide-ranging customers needs from microprocessor and video high performance to being able to fit in small places. The first, the Dimension 4500S, is designed for customers who need powerful Intel(R) Pentium(R) P4 or Celeron(R) technology in a compact, mini-tower chassis Pronounced "chah-see," it is a physical structure that holds everything or that everything is attached to. A computer's cabinet is often called the chassis. that can be positioned horizontally or vertically in tight spaces. Priced starting at $7891, the Dimension 4500S currently features an Intel Celeron 1.7 GHz processor, Intel's new 845G chipset A group of chips designed to work as a unit to perform a function. For example, a modem chipset contains all the primary circuits for transmitting and receiving. A PC chipset provides the electronic interfaces between all subsystems (see PC chipset for illustration). , which incorporates the next generation of extreme integrated graphics Refers to having the video display circuitry of a computer contained directly on the motherboard rather than on a separate plug-in card (the display adapter). Integrated graphics typically share memory with the CPU (see shared video memory) and provide a more economical alternative to the utilizing up to 48 MB of dynamic system memory, and features six integrated USB USB in full Universal Serial Bus Type of serial bus that allows peripheral devices (disks, modems, printers, digitizers, data gloves, etc.) to be easily connected to a computer. 2.0 ports. Later this month, Pentium 4 processors will be generally available. Combined with a P4 processor, the chipset provides an affordable, yet powerful, video and audio capability. The second, the Dimension 4500, provides expandability for a wider selection of audio cards, graphics cards and processor speeds. It also features Intel's new 845E chipset, a Pentium 4 at 2.26 GHz along with more memory bandwidth Memory bandwidth is the rate at which data can be read from or stored into a semiconductor memory by a processor. Memory bandwidth is usually expressed in units of bytes/second, though this can vary for systems with natural data sizes that are not a multiple of the commonly used that enables better graphics, multitasking multitasking Mode of computer operation in which the computer works on multiple tasks at the same time. A task is a computer program (or part of a program) that can be run as a separate entity. , integrated USB 2.0 support, and Microsoft(R) Windows(R) XP performance. Prices for a typical configuration start at $1,089(a). Dimension desktops quickly bring new technologies to the consumer and small business markets, offering a complete selection of customized, built-to-order computing computing - computer solutions for every budget.
