| 825926 | 2009-10-31 08:02:00 | I have Windows 7 Pro, and want to run Virtual PC, but my hardware does not support virtualization... so what now? I installed Virtual PC, but it just tells me there's no hardware virtualization, so it won't run. Are there any options for me? Cheers, Mike. |

| 825928 | 2009-10-31 08:21:00 | Sure your hardware doesn't support VT? Have you enabled it in the BIOS? | Blam (54) | ||
| 825929 | 2009-10-31 08:32:00 | Sure your hardware doesn't support VT? Have you enabled it in the BIOS?Is it likely to? My understanding was that the majority of hardware still doesn't. I'm pretty sure it doesn't - haven't seen anything in the bios for enabling it. Cheers, Mike. |

| 825930 | 2009-10-31 08:36:00 | Whats the CPU in it? Its the CPU that supports it nothing else | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 825931 | 2009-10-31 08:42:00 | Whats the CPU in it? Its the CPU that supports it nothing elseThere's no option in the BIOS to enable virtualization (I just double-checked). The CPU is a Pentium dual-core E5200. As far as I can tell, it doesn't support virtualization. Cheers, Mike. |

| 825934 | 2009-10-31 09:07:00 | Yup just checked (ark.intel.com). Looks like you can get an E6300 for about $130 | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
