Here are the details of my computer's processor. It is an Intel Core 2 Duo E7500 running at 2.93GHz in a family of model 06, with a stepping number of A and extender features. The package uses socket type LGA, built with tech at 45nm. I run on mainboard voltage for the family-06. My motherboard is from FOXCONN with specific models like G41MXE or G41MXE-K, using Intel's G41 chipset which has revision A3. The southbridge chip comes from Intel as an 82801GB (ICH/R) running at revision A1. This system uses a BIOS brand called American Megatrends Inc with version 080015 installed on 10/14/10. My graphics card interface is PCI-Express, and it supports up to x16 width for maximum performance. I have DDR3 memory in dual channels totaling 4GB using DRAM at a frequency of 546.7MHz running symmetric mode. The first slot has a max bandwidth of PC3-10700 (667MHz) while the second slot offers up to 2GBytes with a max bandwidth of PC3-12800 (800MHz). My boot week and year are listed as 41/13 for the first module, or 9/10 for the second. I have one GPU named GeForce 210 installed on a Gainward board using DDR3 technology with a code name of GT128 built at 40nm and revision B1.
