Description:
As the junior member of Sony's new Vaio PCV-RZ2 series of "Digital Studio" PCs, the Vaio PCV-RZ22G desktop offers solid performance and exceptional multimedia capabilities at a considerably more affordable price point than that of its power-packed siblings, the state-of-the-art PCV-RZ26G or the PCV-RZ24G. If speed is what you crave, the Vaio PCV-RZ22G delivers. Outfitted with a fast 2.4 GHz Intel Pentium 4 processor, 512 MB of premium PC-2700 333 MHz DDR memory (expandable to 1 GB), and a 533 MHz bus, it's ready to blast through all but the most demanding applications. The system's graphics card, a TV tuner-equipped 64 MB nVidia GeForce4 MX440, will handle the vast majority of applications but may have some problems smoothly rendering ultrahigh-end 3-D games and drawing or animation packages. When it comes to data storage and movement, Sony has left nothing to chance. The Vaio PCV-RZ22G is fitted with a large 80 GB 7,200 rpm Ultra ATA/100 hard disk for your frequently accessed programs and files, a 3.5-inch floppy disk drive for older or smaller applications, and a combination DVD-RW/CD-RW drive through which you can burn and play audio CDs, archive information, watch the latest Hollywood blockbusters, and create your own DVDs. To ensure fast interaction with peripherals such as digital camcorders, scanners, and external drives, the system also features a half-dozen high-speed USB 2.0 ports and front- and rear-mounted IEEE 1394 FireWire connectors. The Vaio PCV-RZ22G features numerous other amenities, including a VGA/DVI port for flat-panel displays, an S/PDIF out, two PS/2 ports, a pair of freestanding stereo speakers, and a handy Vaio Smart keyboard. Sony has not included a monitor, allowing you to use your current display or select from the many available alternatives.
