Hello Jon,

as this is an AM2-Socket CPU (check link below) it _should_ support the AMD-V / Pacifica / SVM feature. But beware to choose the right motherboard too! I for example bought a "low-cost" Gigabyte motherboard and there the SVM feature was disabled and hidden in the BIOS. Another guy reported the same problem with a different motherboard, also a Gigabyte! So without modifying the bios file we haven't been able to use the SVM feature. Just keep that in mind and check if your desired motherboard supports this feature too!

I have been looking and am pretty confident that the AMD64 X2 6000 will do HV but before I buy it I just want to make sure that that is the case. Also, are there any noise or heat issues with this chip?

Thanks for any advice,

Jon Reynolds
