Just a thought...

Core Duo / Toshiba M400 / Intel VT

I am wondering if any one has gotten Intel VT to work on the M400.  It seems that when ever I try to run a VM program, i.e. Virtual Server 2005 RC2 SP1 - Beta 2 or Parallels offering, the system's (M400) CPU and FAN hit 100% and then the system freezes.  No Blue Screen of Death (BSOD) no indication of what is going on.

I have seen on the Virtual Server newsgroups that some other people are having this issue, just wondering if there is a resolution or do I need to get my system board swapped out.

In the interim I am running VMWare Server.  BTW, there is an interesting article by the VMWare people concerning performance between software and hardware assisted vitualization.  Looks like there isn't much difference in performance.  From my perspective, I just want to get it working.
