The differences in the 2 processors are:

intel VT helps with Virtualisation, so running programs like VMWare, VirtualPC and the likes will greatly benefit from having the SU7300 over the SU 4100.
Windows7's own 'Virtual Windows XP Mode' will not work without a VT enabled CPU at all.

Dual-core in a “netbook” is nice, but not necessary, not for something that is going to be used as a netbook.

How much "better" is the 7300 dual core over the 4100 dual core? Is it more of a multitasking difference? So the differences between the two versions is the amount of RAM abd a different processor.
