<strong>Delivering Dual-Core Desktop Performance<br /></strong>The Intel Pentium D Processor 900 Sequence features a dual-core design with two complete processor cores that each run at the same speed, in one physical package, featuring Intel Virtualization Technology. Enabled platforms can run multiple operating systems and/or applications in independent partitions or environments for improved security and remote mangeability. The Intel dual-core processor is an evolution of Hyper-Threading Technology. Both enable a multi-threaded experience for applications written to take advantage of multiple threads, but dual-core processing brings more resources and computing throughput to the PC. Dual-core processing allows for true parallel computing capabilities on the desktop PC platform.<br /><br /><p><b><font color="#ff0000">Note: A CPU cooling fan is not included with OEM CPUs, but may be added separately.</font></b></p><p>The Pentium D delivers computing resources that expand the PC&#39;s capabilities and provide platform-level advancements in the form of higher throughput and simultaneous computing.
