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

existing single-layer DVD drives and players. As Blu-ray is a new format containing new technologies, certain disc, digital connection, compatibility and/or performance issues may
arise, and do not constitute defects in the product. Flawless playback on all systems is not guaranteed. In order for some Blu-ray titles to play, they may require a DVI or HDMI digital
connection and your display may require HDCP support. HD-DVD movies cannot be played on this workstation.
