Intel Athlonâ„¢ 64 X2 Processor

AMD Athlon Dual-Core processors put the power of dual-core technology at your fingertips. Dual-core processors contain two processing cores, residing on one chip, that perform calculations on two streams of data to increase efficiency and speed while running multiple programs and the new generation of multi-threaded software.

Energy-efficient AMD processors with Cool‘n’Quiet™ technology enable smaller, sleeker, more energy-efficient PC’s. In March 2005, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) awarded Cool‘n’Quiet technology special recognition for the advancement of energy-efficient computer technologies.

Dual PCI Express Broadcom Gigabit Ethernet Controllers

The PCI Express standard is a natural evolution of the ubiquitous PCI bus architecture. It replaces the parallel bus structure of PCI with a serial 2.5 GHz bus. Its low pin count enables a new generation of smaller form factor computing devices, while its improved speed reduces the bottlenecks typically associated with the legacy 32-bit parallel PCI bus. PCI based Gigabit Ethernet ports in the past were either overloaded or were bogged down by the PCI bus. Functioning on a PCI Express bus allows for true wire speed without creating a bottleneck in the bus for other onboard devices.
