There are several ways to tell if your Intel® desktop or mobile processor supports Intel® Virtualization Technology (Intel® VT). Before listing these identification methods, customers should be aware that having a processor with Intel® VT does not guarantee that virtualization will work on their system. That is because Intel® Virtualization Technology also requires a computer system with a chipset, BIOS, enabling software and/or operating system, device drivers, and applications designed for this feature.
If you know your processor number and processor family, you should go to this site which lists which mobile and desktop processors support Intel® VT: http://ark.intel.com/VTList.aspx
If you don't know your processor number or family, you can download and install the Intel® Processor Identification Utility at this site: http://www.intel.com/support/processors/tools/piu/sb/cs-014921.htm
This utility is localized in ten different languages that are listed on the page link above. It will identify your processor number, processor and system bus speed, processor cache, and which different Intel® technologies your processor supports. Simply install and run the utility and after clicking on the license agreement, choose the CPU technologies tab. This will tell you if your processor supports Intel® VT.
You should also check to see if your BIOS contains a setting to enable or disable Intel® VT. If it does, then you will need to make sure that it is enabled in order to have support for Intel® VT. For Intel® Desktop Boards you can enter the BIOS by pressing the F2 key as the system starts.
The following link to the Microsoft* site for Windows* XP Mode and Virtual PC Mode has a Frequently Asked Questions section that you can refer to if you have questions on how Windows XP* mode operates: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/virtual-pc/support/faq.aspx*. You may also use the four other tabs on the page to review the following topics - Documentation, Requirements, Configure BIOS, and Virtual PC 2007.
