Didn't know that. I thought a C2D was required. That's important given that the extra grunt of the C2D is not as important as the extra 1.3GB of RAM, IMO. Still required if you want 64-bit OSs and apps, of course. Given how old these things are, I would just leave in the CD if that's the case as I would not feel the expense worth it.
