The SYSWM5017 is the latest evolution in Microtel's line of budget desktop PCs designed for entry-level home and office productivity applications. Powered by an AMD 1.5 GHz Sempron 2200+ processor with 3DNow! Technology, the SYSWM5017 replaces old Duron-equipped models and is comparable with its Celeron D counterparts.
This model features 256MB DDR SDRAM expandable up 2 GB, plenty of room for memory upgrades. In addition, the Microtel SYSWM5017 has four USB ports and a floppy drive, allowing for backward compatibility as well as connectivity with practically any multimedia gadget. However, users will definitely need these USB ports, since internal expansion is limited to only one PCI and one AGP slot.
