Hello,

I will realy apreciate a help on these quetiosn:

1. P45 Supports DDR2 as well as DDR3. What about DP45SG; Does it ONLY Support DDR3?
2. P45 Supports Virtualization. Does DP45SG?
3. Are vPro and Virtualization two different and independent things?

I will aprciate your help in this regard,

Hello Amit,

Here are the information that you have asked earlier.

Memory Support:

=============Only DDR3Website: http://support.intel.com/support/motherboards/desktop/dp45sg/sb/CS-029151.htm http://support.intel.com/support/motherboards/desktop/dp45sg/sb/CS-029151.htm

Apparently, the board DP45SG does not support Virtualisation as it is not available on the TPS.

Vpro and Virtualisation are two different things.

Information on VPro on Website:http://www.intel.com/products/vpro/index.htm http://www.intel.com/products/vpro/index.htm

Boards that support Vpro technology:

VPro is just a platform technology, that supports:

Built-in ManagementManaged – reduce your support costs with built-in management technologies*Proactive SecuritySafer – protect your PCs and your data infrastructure with built-in security technologiesEnergy Efficient PerformanceEnergy Efficient Performance – improved performance with reduced power consumption with the Intel® Core™2 Duo processor inside

To be able to get a VPro Logo, you will need to have some hardware specifications for that.

Intel® Core™ 2 Duo E6xx0 sequence w/ Intel Virtualization and Trusted Execution Technologies, other CPUs as well

So to be able to pass the VPro test, the board needs to support VT.

Hope this helps.
