Celeron M Processor 743 versus Core 2 Solo SU3500: Would it be worthwhile to get the Core 2 Solo and take the extra step of installing Windows 7 from the free upgrade?

I've heard this laptop supports virtulization, but you will need to run windows 7 professional or ultimate. Can someone confirm if the SU7300 supports XP mode?

Be careful-Dont be satisfied with the Starter version of Windows 7. I hear you then just have to upgrade and pay another $75, or more

yes indeed. I am not sure that at the time I got my Celeron unit, the Core i3 version existed yet.Good luck!

MintBox 2 is based on Core i5 -- can't be changed, but you can get an i7 CPU in one of CompuLab's other IntensePC models. RAM is easily upgradeable (mine has 16 GB) and SSD. Wireless is already built in (along with dual gigabit Ethernet ports).

The truth of the matter is this. All i5 Intel Processors lack hyperthreading. This i7 3770K is a quad core / hyperthreaded processor. This means 4 physical processor cores and each is capable of running 2 threads. This is , in effect 8 processor cores (Threads) running at the same time. This provides an approximate increase in performance of 30%. If your software uses multicore, the benefit is immediate. Is it worth the money to you becomes the question.

It is compatible with the I7. I have just installed an I-7 with 8GB of ram into the GA-Z97X-UD3H motherboard. After installing Microsoft 7 32Bit Ultimate OS, it worked the first time that the system was booted without any problems. When i received my first GA-Z97X-UD3H, I found the CPU socket has several bent pins. Amazon had me another motherboard on the following day, which was Saturday, at no cost to me. They sent me a return shipping label and a RMA form to include in the return carton. Th second motherboard worked beautifully and my son, who will be using the system was extremely happy with system as well as I It is compatible with the I7.

Frankly the difference is quite negligible between them. That said, it depends on who built it. If it's stock, I'd assume it's 5400. If it's custom, ask the builder.And, you can upgrade this laptop with an msata, which is faster than 7200 by a long shot. So, don't think that the stock build is the end-all-be-all for this machine.

Windows 7 is installed. There's $14.95 deal for a do it yourself upgrade to 8, but if you've never done a similar thing before it can be a challenge.

I'm not sure mine came from Coretek computers not Dell i was looking for newer Windows program and smaller CPU and not too high priced.I have been real happy with this CPU though and i don't anticipate any problems out of it

SU7300 is way better since it supports Intel Virtualization and has an extra 1 MB L2 Cache. Performance depends a lot on L2 Cache. I would go with SU7300 for an extra $50

You would have to check with the seller on this item as they come in different configurations. Prices will vary. The motherboard and processor are 64 bit capable, but you are more likely to find a 64 bit with Win 7 Pro than home. You will probably have to buy a separate 2Tb HD. Also as stated in the answer to another question on this unit, buy a refurbished system as apposed to the used. The capacitors are generally bad or going bad on the used systems. I use these for POS systems and am pleased with the series over all.

I see the specs in other answers here, and while not impressive for a desktop this does perform very well when compared apples to apples. I replaced a defective atom-based mobo+cpu with this one after reading many favorable reviews about performance visa-vi the atom with a higher CPU clock speed. Paired with an SSD, this little WIndows-7 based system became a noticeable upgrade for my client, who needed a repair on a small form-factor PC for basic e-mail and internet home use. - Mark, The IT Guy San Diego
