VMWare

[Kam Leo]

Check to see if your CPU has the necessary VT support features. Read this
article, Hardware and firmware requirements for 64-bit guest operating
systems(1003945)
<http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalId=1003945>
 (
http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalId=1003945
), and download their utility
<https://my.vmware.com/web/vmware/details/processor_check_5_5_dt/dCpiQGhkYmRAZQ==>
if necessary.

Your message is a good reminder for me to verify that my next Intel
processor is VT-capable.
