Need Virtualization capacity

[idata]

I have a HP laptop (dv7-2260) with an Intel core 2 duo P7450. This one does not support virtualization function. Is it possible to replace it with an Intel core 2 Quad like Q9000 ?

Hello,

Regarding the cpu, it does support VT.

Now regarding whether the board supports VT, it is difficult to give an answer on behalf of HP.

As the chipset may support it, but i wont know whether the bios has support for VT.

All the best,

Kind Regards,

Aryan.

Thank you for your answer. I had contact with HP who's answer explained that my computer was hasn't been tested with the Q9000. Nothing told about the support of VT.

I found on HP site a computer using the same version of bios (F41A from hp) as mine equiped with the Q9000. Does anyone think I could try to change my processor with a max of chance it works ?
