You are right, I don't see the BIOS option on my box either. I think it's probably on by default (why would you ever turn it off). My Dell XPS-410 has the BIOS option.
CPU-Z does report VT-x but I'm not sure if that is a real-time check or just based on the i7-930 processor it detects.
If you are running Microsoft Virtual PC with the latest patch, it will now run without VT-x being available or enabled ... so that's not a good test.
VirtualBox might be a good free test. While it will work either way, I think the option to turn it on will only be available if the VT-X is available to the Host OS for use. Or, if you turn it on and try to start a VM, it will complain on startup if VT-x is not working properly.
What model Aurora, processor and chipset do you have?
