ALso, I would double check which is better for doing any virtual machines. Different VM's support CPU chips better, so I would look into that, since it seems to be the way of the future.

I hope this helps !
Both of the mentioned CPU's have built in VM support.

only Intel core 2 duo 5600 and 7100 has Virtualization technology.

Also let me know about this.

Most of the HP laptops ship wioth 1.5Ghz processor whereas acer and sony with 1.8Ghz,

Will 1.5GHz processors become outdated in near future ??
