I have a dell e1505 with the t2300e core duo proc and supposedly it should not be able to do virtualization at all, but I have had vmware running ubuntu and fedora before and it worked just fine, was that just a lie from intel, or does vmware use a different method for virtualization?
 
no no vmware is the "old" way of running multiple operating systems. When you run VMware you're only really running one OS, and you're emulating another inside of it.

Intel's virtualization technology is entirely different. It allows multiple OS's to be run natively, operating by themselves.
 
from what I understood most of the recent "VT" introductions only improve performance of VM implementations by offering such things as better I/O implementation for VM software. Virtual machines have been possible for a while, but the performance penalty for running multiple OSs should decrease in the future.
 
no its doesn't do virtualization in the hardware. Of course it can do it in software (i.e. standard processing). What they mean is that the VT is not built into that chip. What I think is odd about that is it was in the P4 662 and 672 so why not this chip?

It is in the t2300, but not the t2300e. So you can do virtualization, just not natively processing the VM in the chip.
