Description
The device is powered by an Intel Core 2 Duo T9400 processor, which operates at 2.53 GHz and is dual-core, ensuring efficient multitasking capabilities. This processor is supported by a 6 MB shared L2 cache, enhancing the processing speed by storing frequently accessed data.
For memory, it utilizes dual-channel 800 MHz DDR2 RAM, which facilitates smoother operation and higher performance in multitasking environments. Initially, it comes with an 80 GB SATA hard drive that operates at 5400 rpm, offering ample storage for most basic computing needs.
The system is built on a Mobile Intel GM45 Express chipset, ensuring compatibility with a range of peripherals and enhancing overall system performance. The graphics processing unit (GPU) is integrated into the chipset, providing sufficient graphics capabilities for everyday tasks and some multimedia functions.
It offers a DVI-I connector for video output, which supports VGA with an adaptor and allows for dual monitor setups, enhancing productivity and multitasking capabilities. The device is compatible with older operating systems, including Windows 7, Windows Vista, and Windows XP, ensuring it can run a wide variety of software and applications.
Regarding connectivity, it features multiple external connectors, including video (DVI-I), serial (COM 1), Ethernet (LAN), parallel (36-pin champ), USB (4 ports), PXI trigger (SMB), GPIB (25-pin Micro D), and an ExpressCard/34 slot. This wide range of ports ensures extensive peripheral and device compatibility.
The device supports various software, including LabVIEW, Measurement Studio, Lab Windows/CXI, and programming environments such as Microsoft’s Visual Basic, Visual C++, and Visual Studio .NET, along with NI-DAQmx, making it highly versatile for different computing needs and environments.
There is an option to upgrade the RAM up to 4 GB (1 x 4 GB DIMM), allowing for improved performance and ability to handle more demanding tasks. Despite its obsolete status, as announced by National Instruments, it remains available
