Intel® Extended Memory 64 Technology (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. 3 The Intel® Desktop Boards D945PLRN and D101GGC were designed to support up to 2 GB total system memory using DIMMs based on 512-Mbit or 1-Gbit technologies. 1-Gbit technology has not been validated on these Intel® Desktop Boards. For more information about the latest list of tested memory, refer to the Intel World Wide Web site at: http://support.intel.com/support/motherboards/desktop/. 4 Hyper-Threading Technology requires a computer system with an Intel® Pentium® 4 processor supporting Hyper-Threading Technology and a Hyper-Threading Technology enabled chipset, BIOS and operating system. Performance will vary depending on the specific hardware and software you use.
