Hello,

intel i3 2100 support virtualization ?

Core i3 2100 processor VT-x is Yes and VT-d is NO.

What it mean by VT-x . is it support Virtualization ? or Both has to be Yes to support virtualization feature. pls check and confirm back
 
If you have VT-x then you can run virtual machine. The VT-d is there for virtual machine to directly access devices such as the ethernet or HDD controller for better performance.
