| 772347 | 2009-05-09 02:32:00 | Is cool, you probably WONT be able to use it, unless your CPU supports VT (Virtualisation). Which probably applies to AMD systems, and probably most dual core CPUS. So, unless you've got a Intel Quad or probably an I7 system you're out of luck. XP mode wont work, so if youre planning on ditching XP forever (if youre using it now). I wouldnt if you use it often, and your CPU doesnt support VT. According to one site, if you have one of these CPU's, then you cant use it. P7350/7450, T1350, T2050/2250, T2300E/2350/2450, T5200/5250/5270/5300/5450/5470/5550/5670/5750/5800/5850/5870/5900 and T6400/6570 |

| 772348 | 2009-05-09 03:00:00 | if you still want xp then just install inside a virtual pc i say, i read an article that supports what you speedy, on pcworld.com (www.pcworld.com) | GameJunkie (72) | ||
| 772349 | 2009-05-09 03:07:00 | My Core 2 Duo E4600 doesn't support it, but I don't need it. :D BTW XP Mode IS XP in a virtual PC. |

| 772350 | 2009-05-09 03:18:00 | Yup I know its in a virtual PC. Which is why you'll need VT if you want to use it. Which is similar to some of these useless programs that wont work, even if both are 64 bit. You still need a CPU that supports VT to test a 64 bit ISO The only program that did work (So, I could test a x64 ISO, I was slipstreaming, which now works, I'm using it now), was VMWare Workstation. |

I wouldnt if you use it often, and your CPU doesnt support VT. I'm guessing you got this from the same source I did yesterday. AMD in fact has more VT enabled CPU's then Intel does. So this is not a AMD problem but a budget problem. People who get cheap CPU's wont have VT, simple as that. AMD 19/23 Intel 14/22 The fact XP mode only comes in the higher cost versions leads me to believe you should have a good CPU anyway :) |

| 772352 | 2009-05-09 04:04:00 | Sweet, both my systems can use it. I won't be using it though - no need for it. I find most programs that don't run on Vista/7 run if you run them as admin and in compatibility mode. | jwil1 (65) | ||
| 772353 | 2009-05-09 04:08:00 | Its not just quads that are supported. Most duals are as well, including my E8400. So are most AMDs-most newer ones support AMD-V And XP mode is a just a Virtual Machine, so it was expected that the CPu needed to support Virtualisation(obviously) Blam |

| 772354 | 2009-05-09 07:54:00 | To run XP Mode, your Intel-powered computer must support Intel Virtualization Technology . Affected chips include Intel Celeron, Pentium Dual-Core, Pentium M, and Atom 270 and 280 processors . P7350/7450, T1350, T2050/2250, T2300E/2350/2450, T5200/5250/5270/5300/5450/5470/5550/5670/5750/5800/5850/5870/5900 and T6400/6570 do not support VT . With the exceptions of Sempron-branded processors and Turion K8 Rev E processors, all notebook processors shipped by AMD include AMD-V With the exceptions of Sempron-branded processors and pre-Rev F Athlon branded processors, all of the desktop processors shipped by AMD include AMD-V |
