I have the same CPU, in an IBM laptop, I had to enable VT in the BIOS first though.

Continuing my search, I found the chip that is in my laptop Due Core T2500, and according to the Intel website it does have the Intel Virtualization Technology (VT).

At least it looks promising.  But before I go and try and install xen, could someone help me on some facts:

1) Will I need to re-install xp? Or can I install Xen on another partition and just boot up the normal xp partition?

2) Is there much of a performance issue if I am only using XP and dom0?

3) Will there be any hardware issues, eg. use of directx to play latest games, wired/wireless network connection?

4) Is the process reversible?

5) How much hardware support is in xen?

 

Thanks for any advice in advanced.

William
