You need ABOVE Win7 Home Premium to apply...
But even then, I think you are locked out.
XP-Mode is embedded. I doubt MS lets it be used in the way you want.

Interesting...does that mean that if I wanted to download the free XP with
the P7450, I could not? And use VMware?

So the P8400 has 130MHz and Intel VT over the P7450.

VMware will work with XP mode (I have done it on several desktops) as long
as I can get it from MS. It imports and clones XP VM.

Is there much of a difference between a P7450 and P8400?



Re: [H] Laptop processor

P7450 - 2.13GHz 3MB 1066MHz FSB 45nm 25-watt withOUT Intel Virtualization
Technology (VT) - needed for W7's XP Mode, or Windows Virtual PC in W7 at
all.

P8400 - 2.26GHz 3MB 1066MHz FSB 45nm 25-watt with Intel VT.

So the P8400 has 130MHz and Intel VT over the P7450. I hate that Intel uses
VT as a product differentiation point. With W7's XPM, they've been forced to
go back and re-add it to a number of their more popular mainstream business
offerings as a new stepping, further confusing the issue. (No steppings of
the P7450 have VT though.)
