System
Configurations
The 650 can be ordered or upgraded to many possible configurations. Selecting the right
combination of memory, processor, hard drive(s) and software drivers can dramatically
change the performance of the 650 system. For a lot of users the standard 650 1.6GHz
processor and 512MB of memory is fine, but some applications require a lot more horse
power.
J2 will be happy to help you determine what you may require from the 650 in the most
cost effective way. More memory may be added to get the performance needed, or
sometimes a dual core processor and dual HDD with RAID are needed. The 650 can do it
all, low end to high end.
Processor Support
The 650 supports a very wide range of Intel processors. Each provides a different price
performance level. Celeron single core, Celeron dual core, Pentium dual core and Core 2
Duo with processor speeds from 1.6 GHz to 2.667 GHz are all supported by the 650.
The 650 comes standard with the Intel single core 1.6 GHz Celeron 420 Conroe Core
processor but can be ordered with a different processor type. The processor can be easily
upgraded by a qualified technician. The 650 uses the Intel defined LGA775 socket. Not
all LGA775 socket processors work in the 650 so please see the supported processor list
at the end of this section. Intel is constantly adding new processors so please check with
J2 for any additions since publication of this manual.
The copper heat sink, cooling fans, and fan controller (shown below) are designed to keep
everything running cool, quiet, and reliably with the supported processors.
