*Certain Windows Vista product features require advanced or additional hardware. See www.microsoft.com/windowsvista/getready/hardwarereqs.mspx and
www.microsoft.com/windowsvista/getready/capable.mspx for details. Windows Vista Upgrade Advisor can help you determine which features of Windows Vista will run on your
computer. To download the tool, visit www.windowsvista.com/upgradeadvisor. **Windows Vista Business disk also included for future upgrade if desired. To qualify for this downgrade
an end user must be a business (including governmental or educational institutions) and is expected to order annually at least 25 customer systems with the same custom image. 1. Dual
core is a new technology designed to improve performance of multithreaded software products and hardware-aware multitasking operating systems and may require appropriate
operating system software for full benefit. Not all customers or software applications will necessarily benefit from use of this technology. 2. 64-bit computing on Intel architecture requires a
computer system with a processor, chipset, BIOS, operating system, device drivers and applications enabled for Intel® 64architecture. Processors will not operate (including 32-bit
operation) without an Intel 64 architecture-enabled BIOS. Performance will vary depending on your hardware and software configurations. See www.intel.com/info/em64t for more
information. 3. For hard drives, GB = 1 billion bytes. Actual formatted capacity is less. Up to 12 GB of system disk is reserved for system recovery software. 4. Actual speeds may vary.
