P7450 - 2.13GHz 3MB 1066MHz FSB 45nm 25-watt withOUT Intel Virtualization Technology (VT) - needed for W7's XP Mode, or Windows Virtual PC in W7 at all.
P8400 - 2.26GHz 3MB 1066MHz FSB 45nm 25-watt with Intel VT. So the P8400 has 130MHz and Intel VT over the P7450. I hate that Intel uses VT as a product differentiation point. With W7's XPM, they've been forced to go back and re-add it to a number of their more popular mainstream business offerings as a new stepping, further confusing the issue. (No steppings of the P7450 have VT though.) -----Original Message----- From: hardware-boun...@hardwaregroup.com [mailto:hardware-boun...@hardwaregroup.com] On Behalf Of Gary Sent: Sunday, November 29, 2009 7:55 PM To: hardware@hardwaregroup.com Subject: [H] Laptop processor Is there much of a difference between a P7450 and P8400?
