Hi all: Some interesting results of Intel Core 2 running Linux. Core2 refers to two processors - Core 2 Extreme (X 6800) - Core 2 Duo (E 6700
Each supports 4MB L2 Cache, clocks at 2.93GHz and 2.66GHz. The Bus to Chipset clock operates at 1066MHz. DDR2 - 800 Memory is supported. Some interesting features are - SpeedStep Technology A feature designed to provide optimal processor and operation mode usage. Basically, lower idle power usage and save on electricity through less power draw and lower cooling costs. Execute Disable Bit A hardware-based technology that prevents malicious code from running on your system without a user's knowledge. Software must be written to support this feature ! Intel Virtualization Technology (IVT) provides the ability to run multiple operating systems on a system simultaneously. Gentoo Linux 32-bit and 64-bit runs fine on this processor. However, gcc compiler needs to be upgraded to take advantage of the new instructions.
