Dell Latitude C640 User manual

Pentium 4 impact in a thin and light
notebook for Dell’s ultimate in "power
density.” With Intel's Mobile Pentium
4 Processor, the C640 boasts the high-
est performance ever in Latitude thin
and light design. Combined with a
new 32MB ATI MOBILITY RADEON
7500 graphics engine, this notebook is
designed for road warriors who
require maximum performance "to go".
Creating a really great business notebook means creating high value solutions in addition to top-notch specifi-
cations. So our new high performance C640 doesn't skimp on the hardware; compared to its predecessor, the
C640 incorporates a faster chipset, faster memory, a new video chipset with significant improvements in 3D
performance, faster hard drives, and higher density batteries. To maximize the value, we maintained
Latitude's legendary C-Series legacy keeping it fully compatible with the entire C-series family of media mod-
ules, batteries, and docking solutions.
Dell Notebooks are the #1 choice of professionals worldwide, and the C600 series is our most popular offer-
ing. If you need a notebook that's designed for maximum performance on the road, you will find the C640 a
perfect fit.
High Performance with the Latest Mobile Intel Pentium 4 Processor-M
and new Intel 845MP chipset
The C640 uses Mobile Intel Pentium 4 processors-M at 1.60, 1.80 & 2.00GHz and the new Intel 845MP
chipset. The new chipset supports a 400MHz Processor System Bus (PSB) and up to 1.0GB of PC2100 Double
Data Rate system memory running at 266MHz. Combined with new optional high speed hard disk drives
(5400RPM) and larger 66WHr batteries, this notebook brings new performance levels to mobile computing.
Improved graphics and brilliant color displays
The Latitude C640 features an ATI MOBILITY RADEON 7500 graphics engine with 4X AGP, and 32MB of
double data rate (DDR) SDRAM video memory. The ATI 7500 chipset delivers outstanding improvements in
3D graphics performance (Up to 110% faster than previous Latitude C610 performance depending on bench-
mark). Choose from a 14.1" XGA (1024 x 768) TFT LCD or an optional high density 14.1" SXGA+ (1400 x
1050) TFT LCD. C640 also implements a new LCD which allows the user to significantly reduce LCD panel
brightness for improved control, privacy, and battery life.
Dell TrueMobileTM Wireless Solutions
The Latitude C640 is wireless ready. Each system has dual integrated antennas, so you work untethered
without susceptible external cards or antennas. You can also upgrade to wireless communications anytime in
the future with easy to install customer kits.
Fully integrated communications, both wired and wireless.
The C640 features a fully integrated 56K1V.92 modem and 10/100 Ethernet. An internal MiniPCI slot is
designed to exclusively support 802.11 wireless2technology. This combination allows greater user flexibility
as the external PCMCIA slot can support other devices even when maximum communication versatility is
required.
