Intel ® Smart Response Technology
SSD Speed with HDD Capacity
Intel ® Smart Response Technology boosts overall system performance by
using an installed fast SSD (min 18.6GB available capacity required) as
a cache for frequently accessed data. Key benefits include reduced load
and wait times, and lower power consumption through the elimination
of unnecessary hard drive spin. This technology combines SSD
performance with hard drive capacity, operating up to 6X faster than a
hard drive-only system.
* Intel ® Smart Response Technology is supported by 3rd/2nd generation Intel ®
Core™ processor family on Windows ® 7™ operating systems.
** Operating systems must be installed on the HDD to launch Intel ® Smart
Response Technology.
The capacity of the SSD is reserved for caching function.
Intel ® Smart Connect Technology
Your computer could receive web updates with fresh content for selected
applications, even when setting the system to sleep. This means less
time waiting for applications to start, update and sync with the cloud,
providing a more efficient way.
Intel ® Rapid Start Technology
Allows your computer to quickly resume from a lowe-power hibernate
state in seconds. Saving system memory to the designed SSD, provides
your computer a faster wake-up response time, while keeping the energy
use low.
ATI Quad-GPU CrossFireX™ Support
ATI's CrossFireX™ boosts image quality along with rendering speed,
eliminating the need to scale down screen resolution to get high quality
images. CrossFireX™ allows higher antialiasing, anisotropic filtering,
shading and texture settings. Adjust your display configurations,
experiment with the 3D settings, and check the effects with a real-time
3D-rendered previews within ATI Catalyst™ Control Center.
