As with the other Dell towers, this unit was another pickup from the University of Washington auction

Also similarly to the newer Optiplex GX1 this unit also includes a proprietary power supply.

According to TheRetroWeb this unit could be outfitted with a 233/266/300/333Mhz Pentium II, making this 266 a "mid-range" model.

A correction from TheRetroWeb however is that this unit can accept 512MB of total memory, not 384MB.

The CPU can also be upgraded to a maximum 533Mhz Mendocino Celeron. A Celeron is required as the Pentium 3 versions operate with the full 100Mhz FSB rather than the 66Mhz of the motherboard
