Question: does your particular Intel CPU have the "VTx" hardware
virtualization extensions?

A lot of the lower-end AMD chips have AMD's equivelent, "AMD-x". Way
too many lower-end Intel chips don't, even when they're in the same
price range or even above the AMD chips that do.

I have a low-grade Intel "Pentium dual-core" chip that lacks VT-x.
Drives me nuts.
