Off Topic - CPU upgrade

[drew einhorn]

I have a box with a LGA775 cpu socket.

Anybody know where I can find a list of LGA775 cpus that support VT-X
hardware virtualization, that is has the vmx flag?

Look at the list of Core2 CPUs in http://ark.intel.com/.
(You can also create filters for VT-x, E.g.
http://ark.intel.com/search/advanced/?s=t&VTX=true)

Tricky ..  It's possible to see if processors support vmx by looking
it up at http://ark.intel.com/, however there is no way that I can see
to get a list of all Intel processors that fit the socket.

An alternative would be to start with the list of processors on the
Wikipedia page:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LGA_775

and then look each one up on ark.intel.com.

Note in the past I have found mistakes on ark.intel.com ...  YMMV.
