Chipset

Table 2. Chipset

Processor
NOTE: Global Standard Products (GSP) are a subset of Dell’s relationship products that are managed for availability and synchronized transitions on a worldwide basis.  They ensure the same platform is available for purchase globally. This allows customers to reduce the number of configurations managed on a worldwide basis, thereby  reducing their costs. They also enable companies to implement global IT standards by locking in specific product configurations worldwide.
Device Guard (DG) and Credential Guard (CG) are the new security features that are only available on Windows 10 Enterprise today.
Device Guard is a combination of enterprise-related hardware and software security features that, when configured together, will lock a device down so that it can only run  trusted applications. If it is not a trusted application, it cannot run.
Credential Guard uses virtualization-based security to isolate secrets (credentials) so that only privileged system software can access them. Unauthorized access to these  secrets can lead to credential theft attacks. Credential Guard prevents these attacks by protecting NTLM password hashes and Kerberos Ticket Granting Tickets
NOTE: Processor numbers are not a measure of performance. Processor availability subject to change and may vary by region/country.

Memory

NOTE: Memory modules should be installed in pairs of matched memory size, speed, and technology. If the memory modules are not installed in matched pairs, the  computer will continue to operate, but with a slight reduction in performance. The entire memory range is available to 64-bit operating systems.
