perhaps because at the time started looking for ways to run a virtual 
machine (quite recently) top ten hits in google were howtos on 
virtualbox an not on kvm. And since you've asked, I just looked around 
and found out that my machine does not support hardware virtualization 
(Opteron dual core).
