Intel processor numbers are not a measurement of higher performance. Processor numbers differentiate
features within each processor family, not across different processor families. See:
http://www.intel.com/products/processor_number/ for details.
Intel® 64 Architecture requires a computer system with a processor, chipset, BIOS, operating system,
device drivers, and applications enabled for Intel 64 Architecture. Processor 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: http://www.intel.com/technology/64bitextensions for
more information.
Quad-Core and Dual-Core are new technologies designed to improve performance of multithreaded
software products and hardware-aware multitasking operating systems and may require appropriate
operating system software for full benefits; check with software provider to determine suitability; not all
customers or software applications will necessarily benefit from use of these technologies.

Most Intel Core 2 Duo and Core 2 Quad processors support Intel Virtualization Technology. Intel
Virtualization Technology requires a computer system with a processor, chipset, BIOS, virtual machine
monitor (VMM), and applications enabled for virtualization technology. Functionality, performance, or
other virtualization technology benefits will vary depending on hardware and software configurations.
Intel processor numbers are not a measurement of higher performance. Processor numbers differentiate
features within each processor family, not across different processor families. See:
http://www.intel.com/products/processor_number/ for details. Intel® 64 Architecture requires a
computer system with a processor, chipset, BIOS, operating system, device drivers, and applications
enabled for Intel® 64 Architecture. Processor 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:
http://www.intel.com/technology/64bitextensions for more information, including details on which
processors support Intel® 64 Architecture, or consult with your system vendor for more information.

NOTE:
NOTE:NOTE:
NOTE: Maximum memory capacities assume 64-bit operating systems, such as genuine Windows® Vista
Business 64, XP Professional x64 Edition, Red Hat Linux 64-bit. Genuine Windows Vista Business 32 and
XP Professional (32-bit) support up to 4 GB. 32-bit Linux supports up to 8 GB.
Memory Configuration
(Supported)
PC2-5300E DDR2-667 ECC Unbuffered or PC2-6400E DDR2-800 ECC Unbuffered RAM DIMMs
Only Error Checking and Correcting unbuffered DDR2 DIMMs are supported and must be either x8 or
x16 width. Memory upgrades are accomplished by adding DIMMs of the same or varied sizes. The Intel
chipset supports both PC2-5300 DDR2-667 and the PC2-6400E DDR2-800 ECC unbuffered memory. It
is suggested to not mix ECC and non-ECC memory.
For best performance the total amount and type of memory loaded into Channel A and Channel B should
be the same. If it is not, your computer will see all the RAM installed but will run the memory controller at
a lower performance mode. Although not required, for best performance add the memory in pairs rather
than as a single DIMM (two 1 GB DIMMs will have better performance than a single 2 GB DIMM). Also,
add the memory into both channels (e.g., one in socket 1 and one in socket 3) to take advantage of dual
channel performance. If you have unused slots within a channel, make them socket 2 and socket 4. This
provides the best margin for the memory bus. If you are only using 1 DIMM, install it in socket 1.

Insight Diagnostics HP Insight Diagnostics Offline Edition
The diagnostics utility enables you to perform testing and to view critical computer hardware and
software configuration information from various sources. This utility enables you to:
Run diagnostics
View the hardware configuration of the system
Key features and benefits
HP Insight Diagnostics simplifies the process of effectively identifying, diagnosing, and isolating
the hardware issues. In addition to robust management tools, service tools can be invaluable in
quickly resolving system problems. To streamline the service process and resolve problems
quickly, it is necessary to have the right information available at the time that a service call is
placed. The primary information requirement, which is also the one that provides the greatest
insight into potential system issues, is the configuration of the system. Insight Diagnostics helps
provide higher system availability. Typical uses of the Insight Diagnostics are:
Testing and diagnosing apparent hardware failures
Documenting system configurations for upgrade planning, standardization, inventory
tracking, disaster recovery, and maintenance
Sending configuration information to another location for more in-depth analysis
ACPI-Ready Hardware Advanced Configuration and Power Management Interface (ACPI)
Allows the system to wake from a low power mode
Controls system power consumption, making it possible to place individual cards and
peripherals in a low-power or powered-off state without affecting other elements of the
system
