    It would support Hardware assisted virtualization but not SLAT enforced in hardware which increases the overhead because the Hypervisor will have to hold the SPA for each VM in software...

    Intel® Core? i3-380M Processor (3M Cache, 2.53 GHz)with SPEC Code(s)SLBZX

    5400 RPM HDD would be a bottleneck for any virtualization and especially if attempting to do DB work.

    What type of gaming?

    The Vid card is a business class not gaming class card and the 5400 RPM hard drive is still a bottle neck....you could play at low to medium res most likely...
