Ok, I just found out that I have a 800 series Dual-core that does NOT support virt.  So, I am guessing that this is just not going to work and that I will have to stick with some other solution - correct?

I am currently on a Dell Precision 340, but plan to run this on a Dell PowerEdge with an Intel-D dual core processor.  I just got the machine about 3 months ago from Dell, but not sure if the virtualisation hardware is there or not.

How can you tell?
