1. Multi-Core is designed to improve performance of certain software products. Not all customers or software applications will necessarily benefit from use of this technology. 64-bit computing on Intel® architecture requires a computer system with a processor, chipset,
BIOS, operating system, device drivers, and applications enabled for Intel® 64 architecture. Processors will not operate (including 32-bit operation) without an Intel® 64 architecture enabled BIOS. Performance will vary depending on your hardware and software
configurations. Intel’s numbering is not a measurement of higher performance. See intel.com/info/em64t for more information.
2. Intel® Hyper-Threading - The hyper-threading feature is designed to improve performance of multi-threaded software products; please contact your software provider to determine software compatibility. Not all customers or software applications will benefit from the
use of hyperthreading. Go to intel.com/info/hyperthreading for more information, including which processors support HT Technology.
3. Each processor supports up to 2 channels of DDR3 memory. To realize full performance at least 1 DIMM must be inserted into each channel.
4. Intel® Xeon E3, Intel Core i3 and Intel Pentium processors can support either ECC or non-ECC memory. Intel Core i5 and i7 processors only support non-ECC memory.
5. For hard drives and solid state drives, 1 GB = 1 billion bytes. TB = 1 trillion bytes. Actual formatted capacity is less. Up to 10GB of system disk (for Windows 7) is reserved for system recovery software.
6. This system is preinstalled with Windows® 7 Pro software and also comes with a license and media for Windows 8 Pro software. You may only use one version of the Windows software at a time. Switching between versions will require you to uninstall one version and
install the other version. You must back up all data (files, photos, etc.) before uninstalling and installing operating systems to avoid loss of your data.
7. Chart compares four different NVIDIA Quadro GPUs so users can get an idea of relative 3D performance. Testing is based on the RealView graphics composite score taken from the SPECapc SolidWorks 2013 benchmark. All GPUs were tested with a HP Z220 Workstation,
running Microsoft Windows 7 64-bit operating system with 311.44 NVIDIA graphics driver. Specification of system: Intel Xeon E3-1245v2, 16GB, 256GB Micron SSD. Tests were run June 2013 by NVIDIA.
