Processor
“Hyper-Threading” technology enables the operating system into thinking it’s
hooked up to two processors, allowing two threads to be run in parallel, both on
separate “logical” processors within the same physical processor.
The 945GC Northbridge (NB) and ICH7 Southbridge (SB) chipsets are based on
an innovative and scalable architecture with proven reliability and performance.
