System resources and hardware (such as PCI and PCI Express*) require physical memory address locations that can reduce available addressable system memory. This could
result in a reduction of as much as 1 GB or more of physical addressable memory being available to the operating system and applications, depending on the system configuration
and operating system.

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 http://developer.intel.com/technology/intel64/index.htm for more information.
