Latitude D520 Bios with VT
I was very hopeful when I saw the new bios online (A05), but was very disappointed when VT still was unavailable. Should I just give up?
I have a T2300 CPU. Will VT extensions ever be available on the D520 for my CPU?
Thanks,
Barry

Thanks
EDIT:
I just downloaded the Intel CPU ID utility. There is no 'E' after my CPU identifier. It's a T2300 which, according to this link, DOES support VT:
http://processorfinder.intel.com/details.aspx?sSpec=SL8VR
However, the CPU ID utility says:
Intel(R) Virtualization Technology No
Is the D520 chipset/BIOS blocking the VT feature? Will a CPU upgrade work, or will I be wasting money?
If a CPU upgrade will work, I see the D520 only supports Core Duo 32-bit CPUs. So I'll probably go with the T2500.

So, I guess the only 2 questions that I have are:
1) Will a cpu upgrade be enough, or does the bios/chipset not support VT
2) Can a Core 2 Duo like the T7200 work in a D520, or do I need to stick with the 32-bit Core Duo series like the T2500? I'm running the 945GM chipset.
