I''m also waiting on a suitable VT capable laptop to run Xen, Linux and 
Windows, but haven''t seen any recommendations yet.

According to the following news/articles, it looks like Intel Core Duo 
T2700 will bring VT to Centrino, expected some time in H1 2006?

http://www.theinquirer.net/?article=29434
http://www.nordichardware.com/news,3014.html


However, Samsung Q35 and X11 are already launched with T2700, but I 
don''t know if these laptops have VT enabled.

Can some other on this list confirm if the above are correct 
expectations with regards to requirements for VT, Xen, Windows and Linux?

Thanks for the information:
Any reports or experiences with Xen, Linux and Windows on VT enabled 
laptops?

Hi There,

How do you find this out? I have a Toshiba Tecra A6 with a Core Duo
processor. What is the check to find out?

If I read the below right, all the Core Duos have it.

Excluding the Apple-notebooks with intel-cpus, of course.

But may me that will be pushed to work in future, rumor
says Apple will also use VT in their next Mac OS X release.


greetings, Christian.

_Not_ excluding the Apple notebooks ! There is also already software
using Vanderpool on Mac OS X: http://www.parallels.com (It''s beta but
available for download). They write on their product pages:
"Great Performance:
Driven by full support for dual-core processors and Intel Virtualization
Technology (included in almost every new Intel-powered Mac)..."

Right, the VT just is not usable for XEN until now as far as I
know, they just figured out how to use it for their own closed
source software.
