    Enabling hardware virtualization


    I just ran SecurAble and found out that "Hardware Virtualization" is locked off.

    Anyone know how I can turn it back on? I heard If It's on it would give me better performance.

    Thank you for your help,
    John

    Latest BIOS for that machine is A15 from 7 Jan 2009 - might want to see if it s newer than what you have on your machine....

    I have RTFM - there is no reference to virtualization. Not all VM software requires this support.

    Correct - but with VBox, you'll need it in order to run 64bit OSs on a 32bit host....

    and in general, it is a lot better performance on VMs if some sort of hardware virtualization is there.

    And, IIRC, doesn't XP Mode *require* hardware virtualization?
