How do I know if my Xeon Processor supports hardware virtualisation?

Question

I've been scouring the net (mainly the wikipaedia lists and intel's site. I even pulled out the datasheet for my processor) but I can't seem to answer this question.

Does my Xeon support hardware virtualisation?

The processor in question is a:

"Nocona" (standard-voltage, 90 nm) 2800MHz. Other details can be found here:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Intel_Xeon_microprocessors#.22Nocona.22_.28standard-voltage.2C_90_nm.29

I'm pretty sure the answer is no as it's a pretty old server but I can't find a single place which has a definitive yes/no answer so I'm still looking...

Solution 1

There's no Intel-VT hardware in those chips sorry.

Solution 2

Intel has a site for detailed processor specifications, which is pretty hard to find. I searched for a few weeks.

The site is located here. This is the top page for xeons.

The site might come in handy if You might be searching for a replacement processor.

The cpu comparison worked best for me after I marked every processor for comparison and pasted the resulting html table into an openoffice spreadsheet.

You're welcome. I researched xeons for my small startup. What do You need those for.
