Just a thought...

Core Duo (Vanderpool Virtualization enabled?)

It looks to me that Intel may have enabled their Virtualization technology in their Core Duo chips.  But alas it seems that it is only working on the Apple/Intel machines. 

 

What does this mean…  Are PC users now second class citizens, next to Apple? Or are PC manufactures behind on implementing the new features in their BIOS?  Anyway this is good news since  VT allows the second virtual machine to run almost as fast as booting it natively.  Very cool.

FYI: The Dell Inspiron 6400 BIOS supports toggling this virtualization feature on and off which leads me to believe that the laptop supports this. My virtual PC's also seem to run at full speed Good stuff!
