Pentium II and III Xeon,
Celeron with Pentium III Based,
Pentium 4, Pentium M, Intel Core
, Dual Core Xeon LV, Intel Pentium Dual Core,
Intel Core 2. Pentium Duo, Pentium Dual Core,
Core 2 Quad, Intel Pentuim 2 Dual Core Processor.

AMD processors include AMD Athlon
AMD Athlon 64,
AMD Athlon X2,
AMD Athlon Xp,
AMD Duron,
AMD Sempron,
AMD Turion,
MD Opteron and AMD Phenom 1.

It processes the instructions or operations contained within executable computer programs.

Instead of taking instructions directly off of the hard drive,

the processor takes its instructions from memory.

This greatly increases the computer's speed.

Thanks
