Pioneer the new world of quad-core and unleash the power of multithreading.

† Look for systems with the Intel® Pentium® 4 Processor with HT Technology logo and also including an Intel® 925X or 915 Express Chipset (see the product spec sheet or ask your salesperson). Performance and functionality will vary depending on (i) the specific hardware and software you use and (ii) the feature enabling/system configuration by your system vendor. See http://www.intel.com/info/hyperthreading for information on HT Technology or consult your system vendor for more information.

± 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. Virtualization technology-enabled BIOS and VMM applications are currently in development.

ø Intel® EM64T requires a computer system with a processor, chipset, BIOS, operating system, device drivers and applications enabled for Intel EM64T. Processor will not operate (including 32-bit operation) without an Intel EM64T-enabled BIOS. Performance will vary depending on your hardware and software configurations. See www.intel.com/info/em64t for more information including details on which processors support Intel EM64T or consult with your system vendor for more information.

° Enabling Execute Disable Bit functionality requires a PC with a processor with Execute Disable Bit capability and a supporting operating system. Check with your PC manufacturer on whether your system delivers Execute Disable Bit functionality.

∗ Enhanced HALT State (C1E) and Enhanced Intel SpeedStep® Technology (EIST) for specified units of this processor available Q2/06. See the Processor Spec Finder at http://processorfinder.intel.com or contact your Intel representative for more information.
