The symbol is used to identify
electrical and electronic assemblies and
components in which the lead (Pb) concen-
tration level in any of the raw materials and the end
product is not greater than 0.1% by weight (1000 ppm).
This symbol is also used to indicate conformance
to lead-free requirements and definitions adopted
under the European Union’s Restriction on Hazardous
Substances (RoHS) directive, 2002/95/EC.

Intel® Turbo Boost Technology 2.0 requires a PC with a processor
with Intel Turbo Boost Technology 2.0 capability. Intel Turbo
Boost Technology 2.0 performance varies depending on
hardware, software, and overall system configuration. Check
with your PC manufacturer on whether your system delivers
Intel Turbo Boost Technology. See www.intel.com/technology/
turboboost
for more information.
Intel® Hyper-Threading Technology requires a computer system
with a processor supporting HT Technology and an HT Technology-
enabled chipset, BIOS, and operating system. Performance will
vary depending on the specific hardware and software you use.
See
www.intel.com/info/hyperthreading
for more information.
Intel® High Definition Audio requires a system with an appropriate
Intel® chipset and a motherboard with an appropriate codec and
the necessary drivers installed. System sound quality will vary
depending on actual implementation, controller, codec, drivers,
and speakers. For more information about Intel® HD Audio, refer
to
www.intel.com/design/chipsets/hdaudio.htm
The Intel® Core Utilities bundle includes Intel® Integrator Assistant,
Intel® Integrator Toolkit, Intel® Express Installer and Intel®
Express Bios Update.

System resources and hardware (such as PCI and PCI Express*)
require physical memory address locations that can reduce avail-
able addressable system memory. This could result in a reduction
of as much as 1 GB or more of physical addressable memory being
available to the operating system and applications, depending on
the system configuration and operating system.
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. See
http://developer.intel.com/technology/intel64/index.htm
for
more information.
