aIT must activate Intel® vPro™ technology in order to take advantage of these intelligent security and remote manageability technologies. For more information about activating Intel vPro technology, which includes Intel® AMT and Intel® AT, see page 25 of this white paper.

bHardware-based KVM Remote Control is available on Intel® Core™ i5 vPro™ and Intel® Core™ i7 vPro™ processors that have Intel integrated graphics.

cHardware-assisted Intel® Virtualization Technology (Intel® VT) can significantly improve performance for users running a legacy OS (for example, Windows* XP) in Windows 7.

dSome new Intel Core processors do not include integrated graphics. Some allow for discrete graphic cards.
