Standard Features - Specs

Processor and Speed –
One of the following
All processors feature Intel® 64 Architecture

Intel Core 2 Quad Options
Intel Core 2 Quad Extreme Q9650 processor / 3.00 GHz, 12 MB, 1333 FSB
Intel Core 2 Quad Extreme QX9650 processor / 3.00 GHz, 12 MB, 1333 FSB
Intel Core 2 Quad Q9550 processor / 2.83 GHz, 12 MB, 1333 FSB
Intel Core 2 Quad Q9450 processor / 2.66 GHz, 12 MB, 1333 FSB
Intel Core 2 Quad Q9300 processor / 2.50 GHz, 6 MB, 1333 FSB

Intel Core 2 Duo Options
Intel Core 2 Duo E8600 Processor/ 3.33 GHz, 6MB L2 (shared) /1333 MHz FSB
Intel Core 2 Duo E8500 Processor/ 3.16 GHz, 6MB L2 (shared) /1333 MHz FSB
Intel Core 2 Duo E8400 Processor/ 3.00 GHz, 6MB L2 (shared) /1333 MHz FSB
Intel Core 2 Duo E8300 Processor/ 2.83 GHz, 6MB L2 (shared) /1333 MHz FSB
Intel Core 2 Duo E6850 Processor/ 3.00 GHz, 4 MB L2 (shared), 1333 MHz FSB
Intel Core 2 Duo E6550 Processor/ 2.33 GHz, 4 MB L2 (shared), 1333 MHz

Intel Pentium Dual-Core Option
Intel Pentium Dual-Core Processor E2180/ 2.00 GHz, 1 MB L2 (shared), 800 MHz FSB

All processors except the Pentium Dual-Core E2180 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.
