2 Dual/Quad 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. This Notebook PC does not support the Intel Core 2 Extreme processor over-clocking feature
3 Maximum memory capacities assume 64-bit operating systems. Microsoft® Windows® XP (32-bit) supports 4GB (with Microsoft 32-bit, the amount of usable memory will be dependent upon your system configuration. It may be less than 4GB), 32-bit Linux can support up to 8GB
4 Cable sold separately
5 As Blu-Ray is a new format containing new technologies, certain disc, digital connection, compatibility and/or performance issues may arise and do not constitute defects in the product. Flawless playback on all systems is not guaranteed. In order for some Blu-ray titles to play, they may require a DVI or HDMI digital connection and your display may require HDCP support. This Blu-ray drive does not support writing to ultra-high speed CDRW media (16X to 32X advertised performance). HD-DVD movies cannot be played on this Notebook PC
[6] For RAID configurations, both hard drive capacities must be equal. If the drives are configured as RAID 0 Striping, then the user can no longer swap
This system may require upgraded and/or separately purchased hardware and/or a DVD drive to install the Windows 7 software and take full advantage of Windows 7 functionality. See http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windows-7/ for details.
