    to those of you who have upgraded your cpus - does virtualization work for you?

    I have a 7803h with a p7350 (does not support vt-x) and I'm thinking of upgrading my cpu so I can run vmware or virtualbox.

    I don't want to upgrade my cpu to find out virtualization is locked by the bios and won't work.

    is anyone running vmware with vt-x enabled and working? if so - let me know which cpu you have as I'd like to make sure I get the correct cpu that will allow virtualization.

    thanks in advance!

    9c.17.00 bios on the P7805-u works just fine with virtualization and my P9600 ES. When I had the RC of Win7 I was using it without and issues.........
