Toshiba America'S Equium 7100 PC series now supports a build-to-order option that incorporates 550MHz Pentium III processors.

Toshiba stresses that the Equium 7100 series boasts the ability to transition to new technology options without having to re-qualify the system. For example, Toshiba's Instant Access door allows motherboard replacement in as little as 30 seconds, without having to remove the monitor or disrupt the work environment. The Equium 7100 series now supports ten Intel processors.

An Equium system incorporating the 550 MHz Pentium III processors starts at $1,729. More about Toshiba's systems can be found at www.toshiba.com .
