Product Overview - Aptiva (SL-A) 2158, 2163

Product Overview

Machine Type 2158 and 2163 both have two PCI slots and one PCI/ISA shared slot.
The 2158 system supports the AMD K6 processor family while the 2163 supports the Pentium® II processor family.

Both 2158 and 2163 support Accelerated Graphics Port (AGP), which allows all installed system memory to be used as texture memory, yielding a huge texture footprint to enhance 3D graphical display performance.

Listed below are 2158 and 2163 system features:
