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)

Got a callback from Lenovo, they said I might have a modified Windows (because the laptop was bougth through the students-support-stuff) and as I said Linux, I got an "unsupported". It looks for me like selling a Ferrari, but not telling where the gear-shift is... Found an interesting link on the net: http://forum.thinkpads.com/viewtopic.php?t=34454 - seems someone at Lenovo knows that VT is disabled... --Zhenech 13:12, 14 December 2006 (CET)

Needless to say, it has nothing to do with the OS. It's a bit in a CPU register that's set by the BIOS before the OS even loads. --Thinker 14:59, 15 December 2006 (CET)

Seems Lenovo has fixed the problem for the X60 Tablet, and I heard they plan a VT-capable Z61 BIOS for April, hope this won't be an aprils-fool ;) --Zhenech 10:01, 15 January 2007 (CET)

  • Z61t BIOS 2.09 7FET91WW Menu

  • Z61t BIOS 2.09 CPU menu - multicore enabling option only

  • Z61t BIOS 2.09 CPU menu - seems like it's just enables second core of the CPU
