Intel vt-x

What it is, for IT pros or people who understand computers well.- http://www.intel.com/technology/itj/2006/v10i3/1-hardwa...

I haven't really paid attention on Intel's VT-x so i won't really know, my guess is yes..

if you want to run a virtual machine such as another operating system as a guest, it is needed. if not then there is no need or use for it.

ummm....well i was installing ubuntu 12 on a virtual machine....my processor is 64-bit, as well as the ubuntu installer. when i enabled the vt-x, ubuntu installed fine, while disabling it caused the ubuntu installation to display something like 'unsupprted processor'. should i assume that disabling vt-x gives me a 32-bit processor for virtual machines?

hmmm...ok....thanks a lot looniam :-)

you're welcome
