Is there a BIOS upgrade for the Dimension E5200 that will support Virtualization Technology (VT)?

Thanks.

The Intel® Pentium® D Processor 820 does not support VT, which is why you don't see the option in the BIOS.

Of the processors compatible with your chipset, you would need a Pentium D 9x0 or Core 2 Duo 6000-series processor.

There is no "Dimension E5200".  Can you verify the model number.

Are you talking about the E520?

If so, there will be a "virtualization" option in BIOS under Performance, IF your processors supports VT.  Which processor did your PC come with?

If not, which system are you talking about?
