  • Standard 1-MB video DRAM onboard plus two upgrade sockets for up to 2-MB video memory
  • 188-pin connector for PCI/ISA slot board
  • External ports:
    • PS/2 keyboard and mouse ports
    • Two buffered high-speed serial ports (NS16C550-compatible UARTs with 16-byte FIFOs
    • One ECP/EPP high-speed parallel port (IEEE 1284-compliant)
    • Video port
  • Onboard controller chipsets
    • System chipsets (ALI M1511, ALI M1512, ALI M1513)
    • PCI local bus VGA with enhanced GUI acceleration (ATI 264VT) or (ATI 264GT)
    • PCI-enhanced local bus IDE (CMD 0646)
    • Ultra I/O (SMC 93X)
    • System and PCI clock generator (Cypress 2257)
  • Plug-and-Play feature (PnP)
  • Power management features (device standby, global standby, and suspend modes)
  • Software shutdown feature (for Windows 95) optional

Memory

The system board comes with four 72-pin SIMM sockets that support 4-MB and 16-MB single-density 60/70ns SIMMs and 8-MB and 32-MB double-density 60/70ns SIMMs. These systems ship with either Extended Data Output (EDO) or Fast Page Mode (FPM) 60/70ns memory. DO NOT MIX FPM and EDO SIMMS. Maximum is 128MB.


Adding RAM is the most cost effective way to boost your computer's performance.


Video RAM Upgrade

Aspire Personal Solutions and SOHO systems ship with 1 MB EDO memory onboard and are upgradeable to 2 MB EDO. Aspire Ultimate systems are standard with the maximum 2 MB EDO memory. Order the video upgrade kit from Acer Access P/N 91.AA994.001.

Cache Upgrade

The V55LA-N ships with 256KB Pipeline Burst Cache and is not upgradeable.
