I want to pick up one of the new Acer 756 Netbooks with the ULV Intel CPU's and was having a little trouble figuring out the difference between the Pentium 967 and the Celeron 877 CPU's (other than the slight difference in clock speed). I looked on the Intel website and both chips look identical except the Celeron has VT and the Pentium does not (actually I compared a P-967 to a C-867 because the C-877 is not listed).
I remember a few years ago a Celeron was the same chip as the Pentium but with some of the internal memory disabled so it could be sold at a lower price point. When comparing these two chips today they appear identical except the Celeron has VT enabled, so at the same clock speed the Celeron would seem like the better chip?
Is there something I am missing? I figure if anybody knew they would be here on the AnandTech Forum. Thanks in advance for your help
