systems and applications in independent partitions. This allows:
- System resources to be dedicated to a demanding game or application.
- Unique user environments to be created for multiple family members wanting to use the same system simultaneously.
- System upgrades and maintenance to be performed without interrupting the user.
Improved Bandwidth and Audio
The Pentium Extreme Edition 955 features advanced PCI-Express architecture that ensures bi-directional bandwidth to
graphics cards and I/O interfaces is optimized. This improves performance for everyone from hardcore gamers to digital
content creation professionals. In addition, the Pentium Extreme Edition 955 includes Intel High Definition Audio with
