PCV-E

2024-03-29T17:56:09Z

Mariol90: Created initial page

This page is currently WIP!!
[[File:PCV-E205.PNG|alt=PCV-E205|thumb|PCV-E205 MicroTower with CPD-220VS 17" CRT]]

==Overview==
The Sony VAIO PCV-E is a series of desktop computers released by Sony in 1998 and 1999. It was a refresh to the previous PCV-2** series desktops released in 1997. This was the first VAIO series to include "Digital Studio" models, which added i.LINK (IEEE1394) ports on the front and back, one S/PDIF audio output on the back, improved graphics capabilities, and a VAIO Smart keyboard compared to the non-DS PCV-E models. All US PCV-E models included a 3.5" floppy drive, a single disc drive (CD, DVD, or CD-RW), and two USB ports. Being VAIOs, they included several applications for for photo and video editing and management, including Adobe PhotoDeluxe, Adobe Premiere LE, Sony Digital Media Park, and Sony PictureGear.
[[File:PCV-E314DS_t.jpg|alt=PCV-E314DS_t|thumb|PCV-E314DS MicroTower]]
Based off of Sony's marketing, the DS models were aimed at DV editing in combination with the included DVgate Motion and DVgate Still applications, by capturing still and video images off of camcorders, then cataloging content for fast, easy storage and retrieval.

==Detailed Specs==
'''Processor:''' Pentium II (Deschutes), Celeron, ''or'' Pentium III (Katmai)

'''Graphics:''' ATi Rage Pro Turbo (2-4MB memory) for non-DS models ''or'' Matrox G200 (8MB memory) for DS models

'''Chipset:''' Intel 440EX for non-DS models ''or'' 440BX for DS models

'''Memory:''' 32-128MB (Standard), 256MB (Maximum) DIMM PC66/100 SDRAM

'''Display:''' 15 or 17 inch CRT Monitor, optional for some models.

'''Storage:''' 4.3-17.2GB IDE HDD

'''Weight:''' unknown

'''MSRP:''' Starting at $999.99 for the PCV-E201 with no display, $1699.98 for the PCV-E203 with a 15" CRT (CPD-120VS), and $2399.98 for the PCV-E205 with a 17" CRT (CPD-220VS). In April 1999, the PCV-E518DS was $2799 with a 17" CRT.
==Daily Usage Today==
The Sony VAIO PCV-E has limited use today. It is best suited for basic tasks from the late 90s, utilizing the included software. DOS gaming may be limited due to lack of ISA slots, and Windows gaming may also be limited due to lack of an AGP slot.

==Overview==
[[File:PCV-RX NetMD Drive.png|alt=PCV-RX NetMD Drive|thumb|PCV-RX NetMD Drive]]
The Sony VAIO PCV-RX is a series of high-performance, multimedia computers released by Sony from 2000 through 2002. It was a refresh to the previous PCV-R series desktops released in 1999 and 2000. All US configurations included a 3.5" floppy drive behind a door, CD-RW and DVD drives (or in some cases, a DVD-RW drive and a CD drive), i.LINK (IEEE1394) ports on the front and back, a VAIO Smart keyboard, and a mouse. Configurations in Japan typically included one disc drive, while at least one in the UK (PCV-RX403N) included a NetMD drive. Being VAIOs, they included a large number of AV applications for video editing, CD burning, DVD playback, and more.
[[File:PCV-RX650.PNG|alt=PCV-RX650|thumb|PCV-RX with optional CRT]]
Based off of Sony's marketing, it was aimed at DV editing, capturing still and video images off of camcorders, then cataloging content for fast, easy storage and retrieval.

==Detailed Specs==
'''Processor:''' Pentium III (Coppermine), Pentium 4, Celeron, Athlon (Thunderbird) ''or'' Athlon XP

'''Graphics:''' Varies, most have a Geforce2 MX, TNT2 M64 ''or'' integrated Intel/SiS graphics

'''Chipset:''' Varies

'''Memory:''' 128MB-512MB (Standard) 512MB-1.5GB (Maximum) DIMM SDRAM, DDR, ''or'' RDRAM

'''Display:''' Optional 17 inch CRT Monitor ''or'' 15-17 inch LCD

'''Storage:''' 40-120GB IDE HDD

'''Weight:''' unknown

'''MSRP:''' unknown
==Daily Usage Today==
The Sony VAIO PCV-RX is still somewhat usable today for limited tasks, including retro games from the 90s or early 2000s depending on the video card configuration. Most models include an AGP 4x slot. Basic office tasks with a time-appropriate Office suite such as Office 2000, XP, or 2003 are possible. Media playback and ingestion are both options due to all desktops in this series having i.LINK ports and a DVD drive. Web browsing is only an option with websites designed for older computers or a browser capable of browsing some modern websites. All PCV-RX computers have processors with SSE which somewhat helps with browser options.

==Overview==
The Sony VAIO PCV-RX is a series of high-performance, multimedia computers released by Sony from 2000 through 2002. It was a refresh to the previous PCV-R series desktops released in 1999 and 2000. All configurations included a 3.5" floppy drive behind a door, CD-RW and DVD drives (or in some cases, a DVD-RW drive and a CD drive), i.LINK (IEEE1394) ports on the front and back, a VAIO Smart keyboard, and a mouse. Being VAIOs, they included a large number of AV applications for video editing, CD burning, DVD playback, and more.
[[File:PCV-RX650.PNG|alt=PCV-RX650|thumb|PCV-RX with optional CRT]]
Based off of Sony's marketing, it was aimed at DV editing, capturing still and video images off of camcorders, then cataloging content for fast, easy storage and retrieval.

==Detailed Specs==
'''Processor:''' Pentium III (Coppermine), Pentium 4, Celeron, Athlon (Thunderbird), ''or'' Athlon XP

'''Graphics:''' Varies, most have a Geforce2 MX, TNT2 M64, ''or'' integrated Intel/SiS graphics

'''Chipset:''' Varies

'''Memory:''' 128MB-512MB (Standard) 512MB-1.5GB (Maximum) DIMM SDRAM, DDR, ''or'' RDRAM

'''Display:''' Optional 17 inch CRT Monitor ''or'' 15-17 inch LCD

'''Storage:''' 40-120GB IDE HDD

'''Weight:''' unknown

'''MSRP:''' unknown
==Daily Usage Today==
The Sony VAIO PCV-RS is still somewhat usable today for limited tasks, including retro games from the 90s or early 2000s depending on the video card configuration. Most models include an AGP 4x slot. Basic office tasks with a time-appropriate Office suite such as Office 2000, XP, or 2003 are possible. Media playback and ingestion are both options due to all desktops in this series having i.LINK ports and a DVD drive. Web browsing is only an option with websites designed for older computers or a browser capable of browsing some modern websites. All PCV-RX computers have processors with SSE which somewhat helps with browser options.
