	* When ordering two processors, the second processor must be the same as the first. 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.

	* 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.
