Microsoft Windows 3.0

We've loaded Windows 3.0 and enough memory to run in the Enhanced
mode from the start, with room to grow.  Both Windows and
DeskMate make PCs easier to use by providing a point (at what you
want to do) and click (to do it) environment.

Windows goes beyond the previous 640K limitation and addresses
extended memory, the additional memory available in the 4825 SX.
Now you can run several applications at once and work with much
larger document files without running out of memory.

Microsoft Works for Windows 2.0

To work productively with Windows, bundled with the 4825 SX is
the Microsoft Works for Windows.  There are a lot of "works" type
programs out there, but we are offering the true Microsoft
Works for Windows.  This integrated program allows the beginning
or advanced user to get up and running in a short period of time.

Intel's Future Double Performance Processors

Intel is advertising "upgradeability" for the future.  You can
be assured that the 4825 SX will support future double-performance
upgrade Intel processors.
