Taylor:

The WinTestCPUID does not properly show whether the CPU will support Intel-VT. My CPU is a E4500; it will support NX and EM64T, but it does not support Intel-VT.

The better tool is Intel Processor Identification Utility, which is available at:

http://www.intel.com/support/processors/tools/piu.

Check on the second tab - CPU Technologies - whether there is a "yes" besides "Intel(R) Virtualization Technology".

"E4300 (and probably E4400) does not include Intel's Virtualization Technology",

but it has `Execute Disable Bit'.

Hyper-V requires processor virtualization extensions (Intel-VT and AMD-V) and requires those features

Thank you! You just saved me from spending $600 on upgrading me media server.

I knew my Pentium D 930 (Dual Core, 3Ghz) supported Intel Virtual Technology, but I did not know if that was Hyper-V. Mainly because the newer processors (such as the Quad Core I was looking at) says it supported "Hyper V", but I did not see Hyper-V listed as supported under my processor.

But your post help clarify that my processor that supports "Intel Virtualization Technology" does indeed support Hyper-V.

Thank you!

The thing is both the CPU and the motherboard's chipset could support the VT-D and XD (execute disable bit) (in case of Intel PC) but the PC manufacturer may be that unprofessional (that is to say politely) to not implement control for these technologies in BIOS.

I am running the brand new Acer 8930 and Intel CPUID shows that both the technologies are supported on my PC. But I can't run Hyper-V on this PC as I get the

I would like to hear that it is me who is unprofessional to configure the BIOS properly. But for the time being I can't seem to proove it.

Hyper-V on Acer Apsire 8930

Hello

I have the same problem - bought 2 Apsire 8930G Laptops - fantastic machines apart from a stupid BIOS - I would love to throttle the engineer who designed this. I find it amazing that Acer have decided to handicap the machine in this way – It’s like buying a sports car which you know has the BMW V10 engine in (the same as in the M5) then discovering after you have purchased it, that you do not have the button which can switch it from 400 bhp to 500 bhp.Also their support team are useless and have no understanding of Virtualisation technologies. Does anyone know how to hack an Insyde BIOS please?

i have the same problem with acer8930g. The bios not permit to activate the VT feature (????). Anyone has discover a workaround? My problem is that i want to install a 64bit guest SO on 32bit host with virtualbox 2.1.4. and this is permitted only if this technology is enable.

many thanks

Why I have to disable TXT (Trusted execution technology in BIOS) to make VT working properly ?

Peterhuang — Thu, 16 Jul 2009 12:24:35 GMT

Hi,

According to the Windows Virtual PC Tips, the workaround I knew is to disable "TXT" when VT enabled. is there any update or fix can make both work simultaneously?
