To meet the growing demand from gamers and enthusiasts to raise the bar on high-performance desktop systems, Alienware is among the leading manufacturers planning to offer AMD Athlon 64 FX-55 processor-based systems. Fujitsu Siemens Computers, the leading European IT provider, will offer the SCALEO P A4000+, SCALEO T A4000+ and SCALEO X A4000+ series based on the AMD Athlon 64 processor 4000+. AMD Athlon 64 processors are the first 32- and 64-bit desktop and mobile processors designed with Enhanced Virus Protection (EVP) capabilities. When enabled by Microsoft Windows XP Service Pack 2 (SP2) or Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005, EVP offers an additional level of integrated security to identify and prevent the spread of certain malicious viruses, as well as certain computer worms and Trojan horses. AMD Athlon 64 processors also provide innovative system-level features including Cool'n'Quiet technology.
