Intel® Xeon E3, Intel Core i3 and Intel Pentium processors can support either ECC or non-ECC memory;
Intel® Core i5/i7 processors only support non-ECC memory.
Intel's numbering is not a measurement of higher performance. Processor numbers differentiate
features within each processor family, not across different processor families. See:
http://www.intel.com/products/processor_number/ for details.
64-bit computing on Intel® 64 architecture requires a computer system with a processor, chipset, BIOS,
operating system, device drivers and applications enabled for Intel 64 architecture. Processor 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://www.intel.com/info/em64t
for more information.
Dual-Core and Quad-Core technologies are designed to improve performance of multithreaded software
products and hardware-aware multitasking operating systems and may require appropriate operating
system software for full benefits; check with software provider to determine suitability; Not all
customers or software applications will necessarily benefit from use of these technologies.
