If I order an Alienware X51 with an i7 2600, which i7 do I get?

I just ordered a refurbed Alienware X51 from Dell yesterday.
I opted for the model with the i7, because I had my eye on doing some virtualization with it down the road for IT training purposes.
I then realized, today, that not all i7 2600 have the same features.
Some have VT-d, some not, etc.

Any way to tell which version of the 2600 will be shipping in the system I just ordered?

The spec page says this:
Processor: Intel Core i7-2600 Processor (3.4GHz 8MB cache,with Hyper-Threading and Turbo Boost Technology 2.0)

I can link to the page I bought it from, but I'm not sure if that would be okay per forum rules.

It is probably the standard Core i7-2600 which does have VT-d. Other models like the 2600S and 2600K will be better suited to lowering power consumption and overclocking, but AFAIK only the K-series CPUs lack VT-d functionality.

Thank you, leonlee.
I got a message around 4 PM telling me that they were out of stock on the piece I ordered, so I'm back to shopping.
Not sure if I'm ordering another Alienware or not; if I'm loading lots of VMs, I think I might want a system I can slap a second NIC in, so I could mount remote storage to boot the VMs from quickly.
