Dell Announces OptiPlex GX520 and GX620 BTX Systems

The new Dell OptiPlex GX520 and GX620 BTX chassis family supports Dell HyperCool technology, dual-core processors, lead-free motherboards and components





The Dell OptiPlex GX520 and GX620 offer customers more flexibility to deploy systems based on specific needs. Customers can choose from seven chassis between the two products, including:

• mini-tower
  
• desktop
  
• small and
  
• ultra-small (GX620)

form factors that offer extensive expandability options. The systems share a single software image across all chassis.

The new small form factor chassis can be installed behind an innovative flat-panel monitor for an all-in-one, "zero-footprint" system that maximizes desk space.

The OptiPlex GX520 is a good choice for the mainstream performance user. The GX520 system is based on the Intel 945G chipset designed for new 64-bit processors, Graphics Media Accelerator 950 (GMA950) and Execute Disable Bit (XD). The GMA950 can provide an enhanced visual experience with up to approximately two times the performance of previous graphics solutions. The new graphics capabilities help enable future support for the Microsoft "Longhorn" operating system, scheduled for release next year. XD is a security feature that can help protect systems by preventing certain classes of viruses.

The OptiPlex GX620 shares the GX520's features, but is designed to provide better expandability and performance options. The system also features Trusted Platform Module (TPM) 1.2 security technology to help ensure only authorized systems access network data and resources. The GX620 will likely support factory installation of Microsoft Windows XP Professional x64 operating system, as well as dual-core processors, in the next few months.
