Intel Virtualization Technology in the MacBook?

I know several people have posted here that they have had success running Parallel's virtualization software. I was wondering if this implies that the MacBook contains the Intel Virtualization Technology (VT) chipset that purported to be in the iMac and MacBook Pro?
Article about MBP's chipset:
http://www.macnn.com/articles/06/04/06/parallels.workstation.21/
Wikipedia about Virtualization Technology (VT):
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virtualization_Technology
iMac G5 2.0 GHz, 20 Mac OS X (10.4)

Yes, the MacBook can utilize the same technologies that are built into its Core Duo processor just like the iMac and MacBook Pro's Core Duo processor.

Satellite U500 - How to enable Intel virtualization technology?

How to enable Intel Virtualization Technology on Satellite U500 or if this feature is already available or not because im VMware configure in my laptop and when I wont to run it I'm getting the message
*You have configured this virtual machine to use a 64-bit guest operating system. However, 64-bit operation is not possible. This host does not support VT.*
By the way my Laptop is Core2duo, Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit, RAM 3GB

Hi hersi,
Yes, thats the important model number.
According the Toshiba website your model has Intel Core2Duo T6600 CPU. So I have checked the Intel page directly and T6600 CPU doesnt support Intel Virtualization Technology (VT-x). You can check this yourself:

Unfortunately there is no option to enable Virtualization :(

GP70 2PE Support for Intel Virtualization Technology for Directed I/O (VT-d)

Hi everyone,
I'm about to buy one of the following notebooks;
- GP70 2PE-257NL Leopard
- GP70 2PE-022NL
- GP70 2PE-085NL Leopard
Can anyone clarify if Intel VT-d is supported in the bios? Both the cpu and chipset do support it atleast.
Thanks!

I don't think MSI bios have that option open, You probably would have to PM Svet and ask if he can mod a Bios for you.

Lenovo G510 Intel(R) Virtualization Technology

hi.
i have a g510, intel 4700 mq corei7
i enabled Intel Virtual Technology under the Configuration Tab.
after that in windows 8.1 :
run Intel(R) Processor Identification Utility
>>>>>it shows Intel(R) Virtualization Technology: No<<<<
what is the problem?????
how can i solve it??????????

Hi,
A couple of things that can cause that to happen: on most machines, it's necessary to fully cycle power (shut down, power up) after changing the VT setting in BIOS. Also, having Hyper-V enabled in Windows Features can hide the VT status.

Which Intel CPU is used for MacBook Pro 13" 2.26 GHz

Hello,
I want to buy the above-mentioned MacBook Pro, however, I don't know which CPU model is used (P7550 or P8400), since I need the CPU feature "IVT" (Intel® Virtualization Technology) which is only available in P8400.
In some German discussions I got the information that both CPU models have been sold in Germany (checked with the tool CPU-X)
The MacBook Pro with 2.53 GHz (P8700) has also the IVT feature.
Does anybody know which CPU model is currently used in the MacBook 13" (MMB990*/A)?
Thanks for your feedback.
Michael

Hello Rod,
Today I was in the apple store in munich and checked some mbp 13" 2,26 GHz systems. All had the 8400 inside. I shortly spoke with a saleman, however, he didn't know about different models inside the systems and told me, that I can't test the system locally, but I can check it @home and if i'm not happy with the system I could bring it back within 14 days.
My result from the mbp:
machdep.cpu.brand_string: Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU P8400 @ 2.26GHz
machdep.cpu.features: FPU VME DE PSE TSC MSR PAE MCE CX8 APIC SEP MTRR PGE MCA CMOV PAT PSE36 CLFSH DS ACPI MMX FXSR SSE SSE2 SS HTT TM SSE3 MON DSCPL VMX SMX EST TM2 SSSE3 CX16 TPR PDCM SSE4.1
I compared it with your results and the only difference I found was an additional feature "SMX" (Safer Mode Extensions). I couldn't find out for what exactly this is used, but I seems independ of the IVT.
I believe that you are right, and the VMX corresponds to the "IVT" feature. If this is true, I could take any MBP 13"
What do you mean?
Thx
Michael

Intel Virtualization disabled on my Mac Mini?

We've successfully installed and run Parallels Desktop for Mac on two MacBooks and a MacBook Pro in order to run Windows XP Professional virtual machines.
On my Mac Mini, however, when I set up a virtual machine and am installing the guest OS from a Windows XP Pro installer CD, I get the following message from Parallels Desktop:
"Your CPU supports Intel Virtualization Technology (VT-x) but it is currently disabled (locked by firmware). Virtual machine will be started without VT-x support (in software virtualization mode)."
Has anyone seen this message before? Is there some reason why VT-x would be turned off on my Mini and not on our other machines? Is it easy to turn on? I couldn't find a reference anywhere.
Here are my specifics:
o Mac Mini, 1.66GHz Intel Core Duo, 512MB RAM (to be expanded soon)
o Host OSX: Up-to-date 10.4.7
o VM Settings: Typical + 512MB RAM & 6GB virtual disk
o Guest OS: Being installed from Windows XP Pro CD
-- Thx in advance for any help.

This is a known issue; if you search the Parallels support boards, you'll see what I mean. It appears that a number of units shipped with VT-x turned off, while many other units shipped with it on. It is turned on in my unit, though I'm not sure if it was shipped that way, or if it was enabled when I updated the firmware. If you haven't already downloaded the update and installed it, I'd try that first.

Oracle VM VirtualBox need~ VT-x /Intel Virtulization Technology missing in BIOS?

My laptop is lenovo S440,which is running Intel® Core™ i5-4200U Processor.
I checked that Intel official website,the processor support Intel® Virtualization Technology (VT-x).
However,by the time I running Oracle VM VirtualBOX,it prompt that
"VT-x/AMD-V hardware acceleration is not available on your system. Certain guests (e.g. OS/2 and QNX) require this feature and will fail to boot without it."
I try to enable it at BIOS ~Config>CPU,however I can't see option of Intel® Virtualization Technology (VT-x). to be select,so I have no way to enable/disable it.
Am I go to the correct path to do the configuration at BIOS?

Hello and welcome,
Have you also looked under BIOS->Security->Virtualization?

Trying to install Android Studio Bundle. When i Do i get an error message. === Logging started: 7/28/2015 3:11:58 ===
This computer meets the requirements for HAXM, but Intel Virtualization Technology (VT-x) is not turned on. HAXM cannot beinstalled until VT-x is enabled.

Is there a reason you have not invoked the BIOS and turned the virtualization support on yet? Press the power button and immediately begin tapping the Esc key to invoke the startup menu. In the startup menu press the F10 key. The system configuration tab has what you need. Enable virtualization technology and then press the F10 key to save and restart your notebook.

Enabling Virtualization Technology to Install Windows 8 on Virtual Machine?

Hello…I have an HP HPE-310t Desktop computer that is currently running the 32-bit version of Windows 7.
I'm interested in installing the Windows 8 Customer Preview on a virtual machine such as Virtual Box. I've done a little bit of research on how to do this, but there is one thing I am unclear about, and so I'm requesting assistance here.
The documentation I've read states my processor must support Virtualization Technology. The processor is a quad-core, so I'm assuming it does. However, the documentation also says Virtualization Technology is often disabled by default, and may need to be enabled to use it.
I'm not sure how to do this. I'm assuming it has to be done in BIOS. Can anyone please tell me where to find the option to enable Virtualization Technology, or check to see if is already enabled?
Thank you for your assistance. J. Danniel

Hello, and thank you for replying.
I actually found the Virtualization Technology option in BIOS and enabled it. I had no trouble installing Windows 8 on Virtual Box.
However, while I'm sitting here typing this, I should say something: I did install Windows 8 Customer Preview on my computer when it first came out. (I did a full system backup with Acronis True Image prior to the installation.)
Anyway, the installation went smoothly, and I installed a dozen or so programs on it with no problems. When I installed a Thunderbird E-Mail backup program, I rebooted, and my computer froze at the HP Welcome/BIOS sign-on screen.
It just stayed there. I shut the computer off for a minute or two, restarted it, and it froze again. I began to feel a touch of panic. I shut the computer off yet again, waited 15 minutes, and restarted it using the Acronis True Image boot CD. Fortunately, it booted up, so I restored my backup.
For the brief period of time I used Windows 8 on my actual system and not in Virtual Box, my reaction was highly negative. I was VERY impressed with the revised Explorer--they finally got that right. I actually LIKE the ribbon in it!
But Metro? The elimination of a Start button? It's hell on earth to use a keyboard and mouse to get to a Shut Down, Log Off, or Restart option.
I can't envision a scenario where I would upgrade my computer to Windows 8. Messing with it once in a while in Virtual Box...yeah, I'll do that. I can nuke the whole thing without much chaos.
Thanks again! Jd

Do the Intel chips in our current MBP support Virtualization Technology?

Do the Intel chips in our current MBP support Virtualization Technology? I think there are going to be many advantages to having that supported, esp in the future. the ability to run multiple OSs at the same time is coming and i want to know if we will be able to take advantage of that technology with our current chips.

Hypervisor support doesn't allow the system to switch between active INTERACTIVE OSs.
Its designed as a more efficient replacement for products like Qemu and VMWare. Like Xen, it brings down the level of emulation/virtualization closer to hardware so that no OS has any kind of priviledge over the others (not really any host OS, just one that has control of the hypervisor.
Its awesome technology, and neat to see, but its really geared towards server virtualization (we use a variant of this in production, and can put 2-3 virtual servers on each physical machine).

I have two Macs--a flat-screen iMac that uses i-tunes 9 (its max) and a MacBook Intel duo that uses i-tunes 10 (its max). Both are on sharing. I am trying to put the Library from the flat screen i tunes music onto the MacBook. I have carefully followeBook

I have two Macs, an i-Mac flat screen that runs on OSX.4.11 and i-tunes 9 and a MacBook Intel Duo that runs on Snow Leopard and i-tunes 10. I have carefully followed all the Advanced instructions for sharing music libraries, which is not a problem; however I am unable to transfer following the instructions to drag the music I want from t he i-Mac flat screen library onto the MacBook. Help! Please! Also, my new Nano will not accept i-tunes 9 which is where I have my old i-pod contents stored--the old i-pod died. Many thanks!

UPDATE: I disconnected the iPhone, restarted it, and tried again to sync it with the iTunes library on the iMac. This time it worked
Now I'm going to try to transfer the music into the iTunes library on the PowerBook, then sync with that, delete the library on the iMac, and sync the (hopefully full of all my music) iPhone with the iMac again.

What is the best I7 Intel processor to get on the Macbook Pro 15"? Are these processors 2nd generation processors? Does it matter? Should I wait until - when? - for 2nd generation processors to be used? Does the 2.5 Mh processor make a difference?

I'm about to order a MacBook Pro 15". I wonder if the I7 processors are 2nd generation or if it matters. Also, is there significant benefit to getting the 2.4 or 2.5 Ghz processor over the 2.2? I'm not a gamer or graphics manipulator, but I do look at (not edit) a lot of video for my work, and I typically multi-task, having many applications and internet windows open at once. Also, I will be running Windows for work access and applications. Of course, I have little idea what makes a difference in my use experience, except I plan to get max RAM and probably the fastest hard drive. Any advice welcome.

Steve,
I appreciate your focus on assistance, and thank you for your help. Couple of follow up questions: What you said about the new specs suggests that the MacBook Pro line has recently been upgraded with, what, the 2nd gen Intel chips, some other incremental improvements? So maybe it has paid off to crawl along with my old mac to get the latest tech. For these kinds of upgrades, I guess Apple doesn't advertise that they have the latest chips (I've seen PC ads touting the 2nd gen chips, and checked out the Intel site, so that's how I became aware) and all?
I'm planning to enjoy this computer for quite some years. Of course I will get the 3 yr extended warranty. And I was planning to get the hi res antiglare screen: that seems to be the best of the options. It looks like one can now get a faster 750 Gb fast drive, instead of having to settle for 500 in the faster version. The cost does add up, but my feeling was to go for broke and get the best machine I can. So does getting the faster cpu and hd and max ram (perhaps buying third party) and all make sense, assuming I can afford it when I add everything up, or is it like a moderately good guitar player getting a top of the line guitar he can't really play well enough to warrant it? (I remember a story about a student under Segovia arriving with a very very expensive guitar when he was still early in the learning process; it may be apocryphal, but story goes that Segovia took the guitar from the student and smashed it to smithereens. I assume that was not just because the student mistook the instrument for skill in playing it, but perhaps also because he would be too careful with such an expensive instrument, and fail to master it. Maybe not a perfect analogy, but I could be mislead by seeking the "best barn burner on the block" when what I need is what will work fine for my purposes.) So I think your original response was probably right on in terms of what will actually be of use to me.
Thanks again,
David
