Poweredge 2800 VT Support

Hello,

I'm little confuse about support to 64BIT guest OS because I have one PowerEdge 2850, with one Xeon Processor:

[tiago@vmware tiago]$ cat /proc/cpuinfo
processor : 0
vendor_id : GenuineIntel
cpu family : 15
model : 4
model name : Intel(R) Xeon(TM) CPU 3.20GHz
stepping : 10
cpu MHz : 3192.334
cache size : 2048 KB
fdiv_bug : no
hlt_bug : no
f00f_bug : no
coma_bug : no
fpu : yes
fpu_exception : yes
cpuid level : 5
wp : yes
flags : fpu vme de pse tsc msr pae mce cx8 apic sep mtrr pge mca cmov pat pse36 clflush dts acpi mmx fxsr sse sse2 ss tm nx lm
bogomips : 6370.09

I'm looking the link bellow and I'm seeing that all Xeon 3.20 GHz support EM64T and VT, but... why don't work for me?

In the BIOS, I can't find any around VT...

Thanks!

Although the processer does support EM64T, Dell did not bother to implement it in the bios nor do they ever intend to.

I don't think it's about implementing it in the bios; VT wasn't introduced till the "Core" architecture processors. These processors didn't come around till the 9th generation Dell Poweredge servers. Here is a comparison between a 3.2GHz Xeon and a Xeon 5100 series (Core architecture based processor).

All I know is that Linux X64 seems to be able to take advantage of the processor. ESX Server is not able to and VMWare states that this needs turned on in the bios. Other manufacturers using this processer seem to have been able to provide that setting.

Can you provide a link to a manual for a vendor that has non-Core based processors with VT support?

I definitely wouldn't mind learning something new in that regard.
