    Hi guys,

    Small question : How do I enable virtulization on an P35W v2 gigabyte ?
    (In order to do a live USB ubuntu)

    I don't see any option on the BIOS and Intel processor indentification utily tell me I can do it.

    Thanks for the helps because I can't find any help online (many solutions for gigabyte motherboard, none for laptop..)

    I'm not sure what you mean by virtualization but usually you have to change the bios to legacy mode to boot from USB.

    Unfortunately Gigabyte's Bios' are pretty sparse with many options not shown, there is a thread about "unlocking" the bios for the P34G, some have used the unlocked options to reduce or even completely rid themselves of throttling amongst other things. The unlocking method has worked for P34W v3 users so with almost the same hardware I would guess it would work for you too but be warned, do so at your own risk.
