XPS M1530 Virtual (VT) Setting in BIOS
XPS 1530 A07
T7500 Core 2 DUO Proc
4 GB Ram
160 GB 7200 rpm HD
Vista Ultimate x64
-----------------------
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?

The option won't appear if you have a CPU that's not VT-enabled. What model (P8300,etc.) CPU do you have?

I am running BIOS A13 and there is no option for virtualization. Why has it been removed and when will it be back?
