*If only slot A1 is populated, slot B1 can be populated with same size DIMM. Doing so automatically swtiches to dual-channel mode.

**For dual-channel configuration (3), you need to install identical DIMM pair in DIMM_A1 and DIMM_B1 (blue sockets) and identical DIMM pair in DIMM_A2 and DIMM_B2 (black sockets).

Checking System Memory

If you do not know how much memory is installed in your system, check the amount by using the relevant following procedure.

Note: The maximum memory size supported in your system is 4 GB.

Windows® 2000

1.On the Windows desktop, point to My Computer and click the right mouse but- ton.

2.With the left mouse button, click Properties. The General tab shows the random access memory (RAM). This is the amount of system memory in your computer.

Windows® XP

1.On the Windows desktop, click on Start, and select Control Panel.

TM700 specifications

The Intel TM700 is a noteworthy addition to Intel's series of high-performance processors, designed to meet the demanding needs of both consumers and enterprise users. One of its primary features is its impressive multi-core architecture, which allows it to process tasks efficiently by distributing workloads across several cores. This parallel processing capability is essential for modern applications that require heavy lifting, such as video editing, 3D rendering, and complex data analysis.

The TM700 incorporates Intel’s latest advancements in semiconductor technology, allowing it to achieve higher clock speeds while maintaining energy efficiency. Built on a state-of-the-art manufacturing process, this processor can operate at optimal temperatures, minimizing the need for extensive cooling solutions, which results in quieter operation and reduced power consumption.

Another key feature is the support for Intel's Hyper-Threading technology, which enables each core to handle two threads simultaneously. This effectively doubles the number of tasks the processor can manage concurrently, significantly enhancing multitasking capabilities and improving overall system responsiveness. With this technology, users can run multiple applications without a noticeable dip in performance.

The TM700 also supports the latest DDR5 memory, providing faster data transfer rates and improved memory bandwidth. This allows users to take full advantage of high-speed RAM, resulting in improved application performance and system stability. Additionally, with support for PCIe 5.0, the TM700 offers faster data paths for graphics cards and SSDs, ensuring that high-performance components can operate at their full potential.

Moreover, Intel's integrated graphics technology in the TM700 provides robust graphics performance, making it suitable for both casual gaming and multimedia tasks without requiring a dedicated graphics card. This is particularly beneficial for users looking for a balance between performance and cost.

Security features are also a significant aspect of the TM700, with built-in technologies that help protect data and enhance system integrity. Intel’s Security Guard Extensions (SGX) provide a hardware-based environment for sensitive applications, ensuring that critical information is kept safe from unauthorized access.

In summary, the Intel TM700 stands out with its powerful multi-core performance, energy efficiency, advanced memory and connectivity support, integrated graphics capabilities, and robust security features. It is an excellent choice for both power users and businesses that require a reliable and versatile processor to handle modern computing workloads.
