Important notes
Processor speeds indicate the internal clock speed of the microprocessor; other factors also affect
application performance.
CD-ROM drive speeds list the variable read rate. Actual speeds vary and are often less than the
maximum possible.
When referring to processor storage, real and virtual storage, or channel volume, KB stands for
approximately 1000 bytes, MB stands for approximately 1 000 000 bytes, and GB stands for
approximately 1 000 000 000 bytes.
When referring to hard disk drive capacity or communications volume, MB stands for 1 000 000 bytes,
and GB stands for 1 000 000 000 bytes. Total user-accessible capacity may vary depending on operating
environments.
Maximum internal hard disk drive capacities assume the replacement of any standard hard disk drives
and population of all hard disk drive bays with the largest currently supported drives available from
IBM.
Maximum memory may require replacement of the standard memory with an optional memory module.
