M6400/M4400 - Support Intel Virtualization ?

I've read that with some Dell laptops, the BIOS does not support virtualization, even though the CPU does.

Is this the case with the Precision M6400/M4400 (ie. can hardware virtualization be enabled in the BIOS of these laptops) ?

Does this actually enable it though, since on other Dell laptop models the BIOS allows you to enable/disable it, but the actual hardware virtualization always stays disabled ?

No idea,I don't use it and unlikely ever to,I know of a couple of other's on other forums that do run VM's on it,and they haven't complained about missing support,they spend most of their time raving about quad's

I can only supply phone pics of what the bios says

Thanks for the pics. I've done a bit more digging myself, and it would appear there are several people running M6400's who are using it almost solely for VM's, so it would appear they do indeed support hardware virtualization.

It would be nice if we can get some screen shots of the VM using this setting. Hopefully some users can share.

cheers ...

Hes asking because it is a requirement for Windows 7 if you wish to use the WinXP VM feature. And yes the M4400 does have the option.

The 6400 also has this and it works - tested with win 7 build 7100 (no RC for me )
