DQ965GF with an E7600 Processor and I don't have VT

[idata]

I'm trying to run vmware on this machine and I can get it to work but it won't run 64Bit quests. It says that it doesn't support VT. So I went to the bios to turn on VT. Don't see it! I can the intel processor tool to see if it supports it and it says that it doesn't. But when I go to this page it says it does.

Can someone help me out? I really need to be able to run 64bit guests on this machine. Thank you for your help. I have the latest BIOS(6100).

So I found out that the CPU isn't supported by my motherboard. I see that the E6700 is and that supports VT. So I buy one and get it, put it in and still no VT!!! I know I won't be able to send this CPU back so I'm hoping there is something I'm missing in the BIOS. XD is enabled but I don't see an option for VT at all! I run the processor id tool and it says I don't have VT support. But both the motherboard and processor support VT, and they support eachother. Am I just being stupid? Thank you for your help.

I hope this helps.
