Re: How to setup a VM(Virtual Machine)

 

Patrick,
This is true. Without the CPU support, you won't be able to run x64 systems
virtually.

However, as of late, there is very little difference between the versions,
and unless you are giving your VM more than 4GB of ram, you likely won't
need the support.

Ill add the note to the GoogleDoc, though. Thanks for pointing it out.
