does Maximus Formula support Virtualization?

[TitusTroy]

anyone know if the ASUS Maximus Formula board supports Virtualization?...I can't find the setting anywhere in my BIOS...can anyone point me in the right direction

Cant see any reason why not, as VT is a CPU support instruction, not motherboard...yours supports 45nm cpu which is core 2, so if the cpu has VT support, you are good to go!

the BIOS naming confused me...I wasn't sure if it was enabled in the BIOS or not...it is listed as 'Vanderpool Technology' so that threw me off...apparently Vanderpool is another name for Intel's Virtualization Technology...cool now I can go try out Windows 7's Virtual XP Mode

Ah yes, looking forward to testing the xp mode....didnt realise you needed VT for it though!
