That means that there is no Enhanced Speedstep, and no TM2 or C1E for power saving because all recent Pentium 4 and Pentium D processors throttle back to 2.8GHz - the default operating speed for the Pentium D 820. There is, however, the inclusion of Intel's EM64T 64-bit extensions and the Execute Disable Bit. -- Regards, -Abdullah Ibn Hamad Al-Marri Arab Portal http://www.WeArab.Net/
