Intel® Core™ 2 Duo Penryn Processors
Whether it's gaming, digital photography, or video editing, today's high-impact entertainment demands breakthrough technology. Now with a new version based on Intel's cutting edge 45nm technology utilizing hafnium-infused circuitry to deliver even greater performance and power efficiency.

Designed for gamers and power-users, the Intel® Core™2 Extreme mobile processor is the world’s highest performing mobile processor. For those who want the most intense, highperformance mobile computing experience available, Intel Core 2 Extreme mobile processors deliver revolutionary mobile dual-core performance, 6 MB of shared L2 advanced Smart Cache, and an 800 MHz Front Side Bus (FSB).

The Intel Core 2 Extreme mobile processor delivers the raw processing performance needed to crunch the complex algorithms for Artificial Intelligence (AI), physics and game logic needed in the latest generation of games. Two separate and powerful processing cores deliver multi-threading performance to blaze through complex game algorithms, increasing responsiveness and immersion in the most realistic games while enabling users to do other things in the background at the same time, such as backing up data, downloading files and scanning for viruses.

Today’s extreme gamers operate in a fast-moving,high-resolution environment that requires the PC to perform multiple, complex tasks simultaneously without impacting game performance. The latest games combine realistic AI and physics to produce rich virtual worlds and the immersive experience gamers expect. The Intel Core 2 Extreme mobile processor delivers on this expectation to render dynamic gaming with liquid animation and highly detailed characters, allowing the elite to play at the top of their game. For experienced users who desire more capability, the Intel Core 2 Extreme mobile processor bus ratio locks (overspeed protection) have been removed. This offers added technical flexibility in customizing the system – even beyond the specification limits.

Spectacularly realistic 3D graphics effects
NVIDIA unified architecture dynamically allocates processing power to geometry, vertex, physics, or pixel shading operations depending on what is needed at the moment. This gives you stunning 3D graphics and visual effects while achieving an unprecedented performance per watt. Games look better and run longer on battery than ever before.

Warp-speed graphics performance
With hot DirectX 10 titles taking the market by storm, GeForce 8800M is the must-have GPU for playing the next-generation games with the seamlessness and speed with which they were meant to be played.

Ultimate Blu-ray and HD DVD movie experience
Enjoy unsurpassed HD DVD and Blu-ray Disc picture clarity, ultra-smooth video, vivid color, and precise image scaling. The second-generation NVIDIA® PureVideo® HD engine extends battery life by taking 100% of H.264 Blu-ray and HD DVD decode from the CPU.

One of the most exciting developments in Windows Vista is the groundbreaking graphics technology. Many of the newest Windows games will take full advantage of the next-generation graphics technology in Windows Vista called DirectX® 10. DirectX® 10 will provide an incredibly detailed experience for gamers of every type, and will enable game creators to increase a game's level of realism, enhancing details and complexity in gaming worlds, apply effects like dynamic lighting and weather, and much more.

While Windows Vista is fully compatible with games and hardware that use older versions of DirectX®, the new DirectX® 10 features are available with a DirectX® 10 compatible graphics card and games designed to take advantage of this new technology. Adding a DirectX® 10 card to a PC running Windows Vista is like turbocharging your gaming experience. Existing games (most of which were written using DirectX® 9) get world class performance, while unlocking the new generation of gaming graphics with DirectX® 10 optimized games.
