Integrated Gigabit Ethernet
Hyper-Threading technology (select models)
Innovative tool-less mechanical design for easy upgrades and service support
Leading business tools and data protection software
Norton AntiVirus 2004, with 90 days of virus definition updates, is a comprehensive antivirus product for Microsoft(TM) Windows(TM) operating systems that can simply and reliably detect and remove viruses from your computer.
Diagnostics
PC-Doctor diagnoses common problems on major system components. Diagnostic tests are run either locally or remotely through the Internet or an intranet.
Remote Deployment Manager (RDM) (downloadable)
RDM is a server-based application that simplifies the setup, configuration, rollout, and ongoing lower-level management of networked ThinkCentre desktop computers. Because RDM gains control of a PC before it boots its local operating system, many of the lower-level tasks that previously required a visit to each computer can now be performed over the network.
RDM requires an IBM server (sold separately).
