New page

== IBM/Lenovo support does not know about VT==
Just talked to the german hotline, the guy didn't even know, that Intel CPUs does have VT (but he knew about AMD, which isn't used by IBM/Lenovo). So I got a new record in their support-list and they will call me back. --10:35, 14 December 2006 (CET)

 Please note, that HP had similar problem but fixed it with BIOS update.
 If it not states "on the box"/manual/bill that it supports VT then Lenovo is not responsible for it.
 They can sell you a core 2 duo even without BIOS support for the 2nd Core, if the never mention it has 2 cores.
-It state that it has Core Duo processor. Datasheets on Intel site show VT as inherent feature of this CPU (except for lowest T2300e model).

 Clearly Lenovo is using false marketing. They sell Core Duo model with virtualisation but cripples them. So CPUs don't work as they should. I believe this is punishable by law. Anyone knows details what to do?
