HP recommends Windows Vista
HP Workstations—Pioneering new innovations
Certain Windows Vista product features require advanced or additional hardware. See http://www.microsoft.com/windowsvista/getready/hardwarereqs.mspx and
http://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 you computer. To download the

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 at
least 25 customer systems with the same custom image

AMD's numbering is not a measurement of clock speed.
3
Quad-Core and Dual Core 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.
4
Intel's numbering is not a measurement of higher performance.
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
5
(including 32-bit operation) without an Intel 64 architecture-enabled BIOS. Performance will vary depending on your hardware and software.
6
This workstation does not support the Intel Core 2 Extreme processor over-clocking feature.
This system requires a separately purchased 64-bit operating system and 64-bit software products to take advantage of the 64-bit processing capabilities of the AMD Opteron processor. Given the wide range of
7
software applications available, performance of a system including a 64-bit operating system will vary.
8
I/O card must also be Gen2 in order to realize PCI Express® Base 2.0 Specification (also known as PCIe Gen2) graphics performance.
Hardware RAID is not supported on Linux systems. The Linux kernel, with built-in software RAID, provides excellent functionality and performance. It is a good alternative to hardware-based RAID. Please visit

1 GB=1 billion bytes. Actual formatted capacity is less. Up to 8 GB of hard drive (or system disk) is reserved for the system recovery software (XP and XP Pro). Up to 12 GB of system disk is reserved for system
recovery software. (Vista).
Actual speeds may vary. Does not permit copying of commercially available DVD movies or other copy-right protected materials. Intended for creation and storage of your original material and other lawful uses.

Double Layer discs can store more data than single layer discs. However, double-layer discs burned with this drive may not be compatible with many existing single-layer DVD drives and players. Note that DVD-RAM
cannot read or write to 2.6GB Single Sided/5.2 GB Double Sided – Version 1.0 media.

LightScribe creates a monochrome image. LightScribe media required and sold separately.

As HD DVD and Blu-ray are new formats containing a 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. Blu-ray Disc movies cannot be played on this Notebook PC.
15
The term "10/100/1000" or "Gigabit" Ethernet indicates compliance with IEEE standard 802.3ab for Gigabit Ethernet, and does not connote actual operating speed of 1 Gb/sec. For high speed transmission,
connection to a Gigabit Ethernet server and network infrastructure is required.
