What's the benefit of Intel Virtualisation....

From: ~misfit~ on 13 Jun 2010 23:44 I've just turned it on in the BIOS of my T60 ThinkPad running XP Pro on a T7400 CPU. I just wondered did I do the right thing? I notice no difference and it's off by default. I don't run any VMs. I wondered if any of the knowledgeable posters here could give me a clue about whether I should have it on or off, and why.

Seriously, what types of programs are we really talking here that arent compatible??? Maybe a few games. But i cannot see any decent apps that are Xp compatible that wouldnt run on 7? |
