Computing Power
If it is raw computer you need, your search is over.  The 400 pin second generation (MMC-2) mobile module connector allows the use of Intel's hottest mobile microprocessors.  These currently are running up to 366Mhz.  The modular architecture allows the core logic and cache to be integrated with the microprocessor, so future upgrades can update the cache and core logic to ensure optimum performance with the microprocessor. 

Size Does Matter
Whether you are presenting your ideas to others or just crunching numbers in the office the gigantic 15.0" LCD provides a wonderful window into cyberspace.  In fact this is the same viewing area as some 17" monitors.  Advanced LCD technology  harnesses  2.4 million transistor cells  to give a crisp 1024 x 768 resolution in true color.  This makes the system well suited to graphics, CAD, desktop publishing, or just surfing the web. 
 
 
 
 

Behind the beauty of the LCD lies the beast - The ATI Rage 3D LT video chipset.  ATI's advanced graphics engine enhances the processing of 2D and 3D windows functions.  The video chipset is wired directly into the CPU via the Advanced Graphics Port (AGP).  This video specific port bypasses the PCI and ISA busses to allow video data to go directly to the video controller without competing for bus time with other devices like drive controllers. 

Quick Change Artist
Like the other members of the Tiger/Pantera family, the ORCA utilizes the flexibility of an integrated Smart Bay.  If the standard 1.44MB floppy will not hold your data, you can easily swap to an ultra high density LS-120 floppy drive with a capacity of 120MB and the ability to read standard 1.44 diskettes.  If you need to share data with other platforms you could opt for the 100MB Iomega Zip drive.   If larger high speed storage is what you need, you can pop in a second ultra DMA hard drive.  On top of all those drive options, you can also tap into the power of a second smart lithium Ion battery to double your battery life. 

VCR For The Millennium
With the optional DVD-ROM drive you can watch the hottest movies with the digital clarity and sound of DVD.  Currently movies are the only information placed on DVD disks, however with enough capacity to hold more than 6 standard CD's the DVD will soon replace the CD.   You can also use the video capture port with a camcorder to do video conferencing and record video clips.
