As a rule of thumb, anything higher than 6000 will have VT, anything below 6000 will not. Interesting exceptions are Doesn't have VT: E7300, Q8200, Q8400, E8190 Does have VT: T5600, U2xxx, SU3xxx, Celeron 900 (?) May have VT[1]: T5500, Q8300, E7400, E7500, E5300, E5400 Interestingly, when you look at the price list, you will see that *all* processors that are not being obviously phased out (i.e. have the same or higher price as a superior model) and carry a Pentium or Core 2 name come with VT enabled. I think it's very unlikely that they will come out with anything new that does not run KVM.
