Advantages: Interchangeable processors Disadvantages: Its a desktop
The IBM PC 300GL was origionaly made for the business sector.
The higher spec machine similar to the 300GL was the 300PL which some had AGP graphics and LAN comunications support.
This was the lower spec of the two machines but still there wasn't alot of difference.
If you wanted to have better graphics or LAN support you could fit a PCI graphics card or an extra LAN card.
Many motherboards of this spec had at least 4 PCI slots and for this machine ... ...look on the Intel / IBM website for a motherboard manual.
Another thing was that missing AGP slot. I couldn't play the games i wanted. The better spec 300PL had the AGP slot and a better graphics card could boost my gaming performance.
My machine came with Windows 98 but i soon upgraded to Windows XP and it could handle it very well especially fitted with a Pentium 3.
Overall quite a good package. ...
