Quad-core processing: The 2.66GHz Intel Core 2 Quad Q9450 is the cutting edge in processing technology for the desktop PC.

• This desktop features 4GB of advanced DDR2 system memory — enough for the most demanding users, gamers and multimedia professionals.

• Data travels to the processor along the frontside bus. The faster data travels, the faster everything works. This 1333MHz frontside bus is exceptionally fast, worthy of a high-performance desktop.

• L2 caches keep data neat, organized, and nearby so processors can retrieve it quickly. This 12MB L2 cache is very large, providing a potentially strong boost in performance.

Hard drive: This spacious hard drive features a 500GB capacity — perfect for robust collections of music, movies and multimedia. This drive’s data disks spin at 7200rpm, providing faster-than-average access to your files.

DVD SuperMulti drive: Use this drive to burn DVDs and CDs to share your files, music mixes or home movies. You can even burn DVD-RAM discs — specially-formatted discs that let you drag and drop, or write and rewrite your files up to 100,000 times.

LightScribe disc-labeling: Burn custom, silkscreen-quality labels and images onto your discs with the same drive that burns the data.

Microsoft Windows Vista Home Premium (64-bit) with SP1: Windows Vista Home Premium, featuring the elegant Aero interface, is the operating system for homes with advanced computer needs. You’ll be able to use your desktop more effectively and enjoy new entertainment experiences—all with the benefit of added security and reliability. This 64-bit edition of Vista Home premium is for serious computer users who have advanced high-performance needs and are running a computer system with a 64-bit processor.

Vivid, accurate graphics: This desktop features dual NVIDIA GeForce 9800GT graphics that deliver ultra-realistic visual effects for the ultimate gaming experiences.

PC expansion: Although the Blackbird is packed with features, there's more than enough room to keep growing. Five internal, hot-swappable hard drive bays enable future storage expansion, while multiple PCI slots let you add on to your gaming machine.
