Technology Features Benefits
Enhanced Virus Protection for Microsoft® Windows® XP SP2
  • Prevents damage from certain viruses, worms, and Trojan horses by causing them to become localized, short-lived, and non-contagious
  • Sets aside portions of system memory as “data only,” so viruses cannot be executed
  • Designed to enhance the integrity of home and office networks
Outstanding 32-bit performance
  • Offers superior performance on today’s software applications
  • Increases memory addressability for enhanced computing experiences
  • Creates a significant performance gain for applications in which large (or many) datasets are held in memory
Cutting-edge AMD64 technology
  • Doubles the number of processor registers and increases memory addressability
  • Enables seamless migration to 64-bit computing
  • Allows users to run 32-bit and/or 64-bit applications and operating systems as they desire – without sacrificing performance
Cool ‘n’ Quiet™ technology
  • Enables frequency and voltage switching for performance on demand
  • Reduces noise and heat at their sources
  • Reduces processor power consumption by up to 65 percent and cuts the amount of system noise
HyperTransport™ technology
  • Reduces I/O bottlenecks, increases bandwidth, and reduces latency
  • Enables a system bus to run at up to 1600MHz
  • Supports up to 9.6GB/sec processor-to-system bandwidth
  • Provides high-speed I/O communications for your current and future application needs
