Processor and Speed

One of the following

All processors feature Intel® 64 Architecture

Intel Core 2 Extreme QX6850 processor / 3.0 GHz, 4 MB x 2, 1333 FSB, Quad-Core Intel Core 2 Quad Q6700 processor / 2.66 GHz, 4 MB x 2, 1066 FSB, Quad-Core

Intel Core 2 Quad Extreme Q6600 processor / 2.40 GHz, 4 MB x 2, 1066 FSB, Quad-Core Intel Core 2 Duo E6850 Processor/ 3.00 GHz, 4 MB L2 (shared), 1333 MHz FSB, Dual-Core Intel Core 2 Duo E6750 Processor/ 2.66 GHz, 4 MB L2 (shared), 1333 MHz FSB, Dual-Core Intel Core 2 Duo E6550 Processor/ 2.33 GHz, 4 MB L2 (shared), 1333 MHz FSB, Dual-Core Intel Core 2 Duo E4500 Processor/ 2.20 GHz, 2 MB L2 (shared), 800 MHz FSB, Dual-Core

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

All processors except the Intel Core 2 Duo E4500 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.

Memory

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 PC26400E 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 512 MB DIMMs will have better performance than a single 1 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.

MAXIMUM MEMORY

Supports up to 8 GB DDR2-667 or DDR2-800 ECC unbuffered memory

Thermal Alert (Requires HP Monitors the temperature state within the chassis. Three modes:

Client Manager Software)

NORMAL - normal temperature ranges

ALERTED - excessive temperatures are detected. Raises a flag so action can be taken to avoid shutdown or provide for a smoother system shutdown

SHUTDOWN - excessive temperatures are encountered. Automatically shuts down the computer without warning before hardware component damage occurs
