With IBM's NetVista A Series, educators get a range of desktop systems to choose from.

Video graphics for series models range from Intel 3-D graphics with Direct AGP to a 4X AGP slot, and 16, 32 and 64 MB cards. All models come with an Intel 10/100 Ethernet with Wake on LAN and several front and rear ports. With NetVista, educators can also take advantage of a host of optional multimedia features, including expansive video card options and a speaker system with a subwoofer. They can also choose from a wide range of compatible monitors, including power-saving high resolution flat panel displays that deliver bright, crisp images in addition to standard CRTs. Norton Antivirus, Netscape Navigator, Access IBM, Microsoft Office applications and operating systems are also included, but vary by model. IBM, White Plains, NY, (888) SHOP-IBM, www.ibm.com.
