Intel® Core 2 Duo Processor

Based on revolutionary Intel® Core microarchitecture, the breakthrough Intel® Core 2 Duo processor family is designed to provide powerful energy-efficient performance so you can do more at once without slowing down.

With Intel® Core 2 Duo desktop processor, you'll experience revolutionary performance, unbelievable system responsiveness, and energy-efficiency second to none. These processors are up to 40 percent faster with improved energy-efficiency, in comparison the an Intel® Pentium® D 805 processor.

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.
