Hyper-Threading Technology requires a computer system with an Intel® Pentium® 4 processor at 3.06 GHz or
higher, a chipset and BIOS that utilize this technology, and an operating system that includes optimizations for this
technology. Look for systems with the Intel® Pentium® 4 Processor with HT Technology logo which your system
vendor has verified utilize Hyper-Threading Technology. Performance will vary depending on the specific hardware
and software you use. See the following URL for more information: http://www.intel.com/info/hyperthreading
Intel processors may contain design defects or errors known as errata, which may cause the product to deviate
from published specifications. Current characterized errata are available on request.
