Confused about Intel vPro/AMT technlogies

Intel vPro technology is a platform that requires specific ingredients - you need to have a vPro-capable processor and a vPro-capable motherboard. You can look up processors and boards on http://ark.intel.com and that site will tell you exactly which functionality is available on each component. One thing that I've learned about that site is that vPro capable processors are not called out.

For the 2010 platform, the following processors are vPro-capable:

• Core i5-650, 660, 670, 680
• Core i7-860, 860s, 870, 870s, 880

Does that help? I'm the Community Manager at the Intel vPro Expert Center (www.intel.com/go/vproexpert). We have engineers on hand in our discussion forums to answer questions like these.
