I want to upgrade from Vista to Windows 7 and also want to use the XP Mode new in Windows 7. On checking my CPU, I find that it does not have the necessary virtual hardware and need to upgrade my processor. I have an Intel Core Duo E7300. Can someone tell me which processor, if any, that I can swap in to get Intel VT capability.
Thanks.

Thanks for the info. Can you tell me if there is any problem with simply swapping the E7300 I have with a
Intel® Core™2 Duo Processor E7600"

best thing to do is check your motherboard specs to see if it is supported.
