I checked the Intel ARK site before I ordered this processor, and two of the listed variations said “boxed” on them and both boxed processors supported Intel VT-x. I assumed this was considered a boxed processor, and as such, would support VT-x. To my surprise, the spec code on the box for this processor is SLB9Z– the only one out of the four spec codes listed on the ARK site that does not support VT-x.

Processor works fine otherwise, but I was disappointed that I’ll be unable to use Windows Virtual PC on this machine.

Nothing to complain about with this product. For a 2.93 Core 2 Duo, speed kills!

I bought this processor for a home PC I was building my self. If you’re looking for a fast processor for a good price, Then this is the way to go. Really easy to install, but i had some problems with installing the heatsink as it just clips into the motherboard. Other than that i had no problems with this CPU.

Booted right out of the box and ran alot faster than my old P4 at 1.6 Ghz. Definitely power ful enough for a basic home computer.

This CPU runs very fast and yet cool with my XFX 750i MB. I haven’t OC’d it yet but it has plenty of power running at stock speed. It’s a pretty old CPU but still runs faster than some of the new Core 2 Duo out there. If you are on a limited budget but still wants some power in your CPU, this is the one for you. I highly recommend it to others.
