Additional Description

Abstract

This paper will evaluate and analyze a general-purpose computer system that can be fully deployed throughout a company to replace an obsolete system. The computer system features an 800 MHz Pentium III processor, a new generation of motherboards that uses Intel's 820 chipset, and a new memory system called RDRAM, which was developed by Rambus, Inc. in conjuction with Intel Corporation. The paper discusses the processor's architecture and operations as well as its instruction set. The computer system's hardware structure and peripheral components are discussed. The hardware and software costs for this system were investigated and presented in this paper.
