    Possible to Enable Virtualization?

    I recently downloaded Microsoft Virtual PC 2007 from my connections program.

    The program features support for processor virtualization, as well as the T7200 I have in my HGL-30

    From what I have read, it requires being enabled in the BIOS, yet I see no such option. VirtualPC 2007 says Virtualization is not supported on this machine, but the Intel processor frequency ID program says it is.

    Has anyone had experience with the Compals and their Virtualization support?

    Thanks.

    Your motherboard probly does not support it.

    On my dv6000t, I have a T7200 and it does have an option in the BIOS to enable it. Maybe there is a BIOS update for you? If not you may be out of luck.

    I'm betting that most notebooks don't have this option, and won't get this option for quite some time. Virtualization technology is normally left for professional workstations or servers because that kind of environment typically is very taxing to the system, and would require being plugged into the wall to run 24/7.

    Don't worry, you aren't really missing out on anything. *yet*
