Not all processors in the 830 have the Intel Virtualization Technology. I would gather that if the option isn't in the BIOS, you don't have a PROC that has that support. Which PROC do you have?
Download CPU-Z and run it. It can tell you the capabilities of your processor.
As you can see here, the Pentium D 830 (3 GHz, 800MHz FSB) doesn't have VT, and as you can see here, the Pentium D 925 doesn't have VT, but the Pentium D 930 does have VT (both 3GHz and 800MHz FSB).

This is another discussion forum in which one guy says he is using PowerEdge 830 with Hyper-V.
