*Certain Windows Vista product features require advanced or additional hardware. See www.microsoft.com/windowsvista/getready/hardwarereqs.mspx. 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. **This system may require upgraded and/or separately purchased hardware and/or a DVD drive to install the Windows 7 software and take full advantage of Windows 7 functionality. See
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windows-7/ for details. *** Windows® XP Professional is preinstalled on this system and includes end user rights and media for Windows 7 Professional. You may only use one version at a time. You must back up all data (files, photos,
etc.) before uninstalling and installing operating systems to avoid loss of your data. 1. vPro Technology - Some functionality of this technology, such as Intel Active management technology and Intel Virtualization technology, requires additional 3rd party software in order to
run. Availability of future "virtual appliances" applications for Intel vPro technology is dependent on 3rd party software providers. Compatibility with future "virtual appliances" and Microsoft Windows 7 operating system is yet to be determined. 2. 64-bit computing on Intel
architecture requires a computer system with a processor, chipset, BIOS, operating system, device drivers and applications enabled for Intel® 64architecture. 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. Dual/Quad Core is designed to improve performance of certain software products. Not all customers will necessarily benefit from the use of this
technology. Intel’s numbering is not a measurement of higher performance. 3. Maximum memory capacities assume Windows 64-bit operating systems or Linux. With Windows 32-bit operating systems, memory above 3 GB may not all be available due to system resource
requirements. Dual Channel is only supported when the system is configured with DDR3 symmetric memory (i.e. 2 x2GB). 4. For hard drives, GB = 1 billion bytes. Actual formatted capacity is less. Up to 8GB (for XP and XP Pro), up to10 GB (for Vista) and up to 16 GB (for
Windows 7) of disk space is reserved for the system recovery software. 5. Optional feature sold separately or as an add on feature. 6. Don’t copy copyright-protected materials. Actual speeds may vary. Double Layer is a new technology. Double Layer media compatibility will
widely vary with some home DVD players and DVD-ROM drives. Note that DVD-RAM cannot read or write to 2.6GB Single Sided/5.2 Double Sided-Version 1 Media. LightScribe creates a monochrome image. LightScribe media required and sold separately. 7. 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 Desktop PC. 8. Service levels and response times for HP Care Packs may vary depending on geographic location. Restrictions and limitations
apply. Service starts at date of hardware purchase. For details, visit www.hp.com/go/carepack.
