    so I am considering getting one of these but I have some questions about the CPU, its an Intel Core2Duo P7550 2.26ghz CPU, 45nm 25 watts TDP and 3mb of cache. Now the thing is, this is an OEM CPU and specs wise its the same as the P8400. What I am wondering is, specs wise if its the same (I can only gets specifications for the P7550 from wikipedia since its an OEM CPU), are some of the "Extras" like virtualization ect disabled on the P7550? This is kind of important since I would probably be putting Windows 7 Pro on it and maybe running some stuff in XP mode.
