Hi Nessuno

Thanks for that.

Yes I looked everywhere in BIOS, but found no more hidden Options - its a fairly new (compared with the age of the xw6400!) BIOS ( 12/2010 ) and has a VT Enable so I expected it to work.....

But I think I may have stumbled on the answer, which I record below in case anyone else hits the problem....

I should have given more info in the original mail - the workstation/server is running W2008 AND HYPER-V - I believe this combination disrupst both the Intel Processor ID utility and the 'old' VMware 64 bit Compatability check, because they were both working under an o/s that has virtualisation already enabled....

So once I found the vmware cpu identification utility at http://www.vmware.com/uk/support/shared_utilities.html which is an iso and does not run under Windows etc. - it gave the correct answers.

Moral of the story - don't try and mix your virtrualisations.

Hope that helps.

On my HP xw6400 with Xeon 5130 the Intel Processor ID Utility shows the processors as

Virtual Technology No

I have the latest BIOS, 2.38, and VT is enabled in the BIOS

What am I missing here?
