    Hi. I'm trying to buy Thinkpad R400 from Ebay. The one which I've found have Intel Core 2 Duo T6570 processor inside but I've noticed "Intel Centrino Inside" sticker on it. Is that normal? Notebook is 6 months old. Thanks

    i mean, instead of a centrino 2 sticker?

    all centrino means is that it has a non-celeron (and nowadays non-pentium) intel cpu, an intel chipset, and an intel wifi module. it doesn't say anything about the actual specs

    re vt : if intel says so, then yea. who knows intel cpu's better than intel?

    So if notebook have got Core 2 duo processor inside doesn't mean have to have "Core 2 Duo Inside" sticker on it? It might be "Centrino Inside" as well as "Centrino 2 Inside". Is that right? Sorry but I want to be sure before I'll use "Buy it now". Thanks

    Yeah, centrino is a term that Intel uses for certain systems that use a combination of their components.

    A Core 2 Duo T6_70 series should have VT if you go by the naming scheme Intel has to denote cpu's which have VT enabled among the lower end 6 and 7 series C2D's.
