contink Posted February 11, 2011 Posted February 11, 2011 I'm stuck with an Intel Core 2 8300 Quad which is not capable of WinXP Legacy due to the lack of VT support so I'm looking for anyone who may be thinking of upgrading to i7 or just upgrading that has a suitable CPU (in good condition obviously). Already got an decent motherboard so I don't need a combo but if anyone has any offers let me know... EDIT: This link has a list of the compatible models .. http://www.zdnet.com/blog/bott/how-many-intel-cpus-will-fail-the-xp-mode-test-in-windows-7/946?pg=2 So I'm looking at: Q9300/9400/9400S Q9450/9550/9550S/9650 ... not looking to downgrade speed either as I've gotten used to this system speed as is.
contink Posted February 11, 2011 Author Posted February 11, 2011 Q8400 does the job.... I'm guessing the list on my link is out of date or marginally incorrect?
