You can check if your CPU has virtualization technology or not right from within Windows OS. They are the same technology offered by two different processor manufacturers. You need to check for Intel VT-x if you are using Intel based CPU and AMD-V if you are using AMD CPU. How to check if your CPU has Intel VT-x or AMD-V? But if you plan to run 32 bit virtual operating system as guest, you don’t need Intel VT-x or AMD-V CPU. So to give it to you straight, If you plan to run 64 bit virtual machines on your computer, you need a Intel VT-x or AMD-V.
My experience is that, enabling Inter VT or AMD-V did not slow down the performance of my computer.
But these days, the lag is hardly noticeable. Some say that enabling virtualization in BIOS slows down the performance of the CPU. To be able to use these instruction, they need to be enabled in BIOS. Intel VT-x or AMD-V capable processors have inbuilt set of processor instruction that can handle virtualization effectively. Are you interested in Virtual Machines, Virtualization, Hypervisor, whatever name you call it and not sure if your Windows box supports Intel VT-x or AMD-V? This post tell you how to find out for yourself.īut, first the big question: Do you need Intel VT-x or AMD-V based CPU to run Virtual Machines?
