XPS M1530 Virtual (VT) Setting in BIOS

I am trying to figure out why I Dell hasn't provided the capability to turn on Virtualization in the BIOS.  I checked the Intel site and know for a fact that my processor is capable of running VT.  My coworker has an older XPS 1330 and has the setting available to him in his BIOS (though ia m not sure of the rev).  I have googled for a solution but have come up short thus far.  The one response I did find from a Dell rep basically gave a talk off saying that processors have can vary from machine to machine.  I know for a fact that may processor is capable of running VT and am just waiting for Dell to deliver a BIOS version that will allow me to invoke it.  I am running VMWare Workstation 6.02 and would like to take advantage of running 64-bit hosts.  Anybody have an idea on what Dell is planning on doing?
