> Their product lines are confusing mess requiring looking up each specific part to get a list of features it does or does not support. There's little rhyme or reason to it.
I got bitten by that back in the Core 2 era. When I built my very last Intel system, around an Intel DG43NB board, I picked up a Q8200, thinking it would be a great bang-for-the-buck chip. Little did I realize from the store display that the Q8200 was the only Core 2 Quad that lacked virtualization support.
The DG43NB died prematurely, due to capacitor plague. I didn't shed any tears for it.
