Morgan or Spitfire core Duron

[chrismcclellan]

I have a friend who's found a great deal on a laptop at Best Buy--a Sony notebook (FX210 is the model) that's powered by a Duron 800. I remember hearing though that were a few manufacturers who went ahead and put Spitfire core Durons into laptops. In all the websites on it I can't find anything mentioning anything like PowerNow! Is there anything distinguishing to easily tell if this is a Spitfire or Morgan core Duron? It does say "Mobile Duron" on the Sony spec sheet. Under power managment it says Energy Star compliant and ACPI compatible, and under power consumption it says 58.5 W max. But I'm a little suspicious...hopefully it's the real thing because it's otherwise exactly what my friend is looking for. Any help is appreciated!
