Re: Virtualization on VPCZ11Z9E/B

 

http://feature-enable.blogspot.com/2009/07/enable-vt-on-insydeh2o-based-sony-vaio.html

According to this link VT is unlocked in a new BIOS. I haven't checked it
myself though.
Somehow I remember that people still prefer to hack the BIOS, not sure what
was still locked with the new BIOS.

I think for multi-core and/or 64 bit Guest OS you need VT enabled.
