HP recommends Windows Vista

Certain Windows Vista product features require advanced or additional hardware. See www.microsoft.com/windowsvista/getready/hardwarereqs.mspx and

www.microsoft.com/windowsvista/getready/capable.mspx for details. Windows Vista Upgrade Advisor can help you determine which features of Windows Vista will run on your computer. To download

the tool, visit www.windowsvista.com/upgradeadvisor.

Dual/quad core is a new technology designed to improve performance of multi-threaded software products and hardware-aware multi-tasking operating systems and may require appropriate operating

system software for full benefit. Not all customer or software applications will necessarily benefit from use of this technology.

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 www.intel.com/info/em64t for

more information.

LightScribe creates a monochrome image. LightScribe media required and sold separately. Note that DVD-RAM cannot read or write to 2.6 GB single-sided/5.2 GB double-sided—version 1.0 media.

1 GB of system memory required. Graphics cards use part of the total system memory to enhance graphics performance.

GB = 1 billion bytes. Actual formatted capacity is less. Up to 8 GB (for XP) and up to 12 GB (for Vista) of hard drive is reserved for system recovery software.

Windows Vista Business disk also included for future upgrade, if desired. To qualify for this downgrade, an end user must be a business (including governmental or educational institutions) and is expected

to order annually at least 25 customer systems with the same custom image.
