Dual core/64-bit processing: This desktop features the dual-core 2.4GHz AMD Athlon 64 X2 4800+ processor. The Athlon 64 X2 has two processing engines that work together, giving this processor much more power than standard 2.6GHz processors. This processor is also capable of processing 64 bits of information at once, twice as much as older 32-bit processors.

• This desktop features 3GB of DDR2 system memory—enough for the most demanding users, gamers and multimedia professionals. DDR2 is slightly faster than DDR, the previous standard in system memory.

• HyperTransport technology works like a fully-integrated frontside bus that increases bandwidth, reduces bottlenecks and enables processors to work more efficiently.

• Processors search for the same data over and over. L2 caches keep this data neat, organized, and nearby so it can be retrieved more quickly. This 1MB cache gives the processor a little boost.
