  • The processors purchased in 2007 are dual-core, yielding a higher performance even though the clock speed is lower.
  • In 2002, 2003, and 2006 the speed figure is a vendor rating rather than the actual megahertz of the processor.
  • Memory on the computers purchased in 2000 was increased to 256MB by fall of 2002.
