Ok, so for the first time in Windows 7 x64 I'm trying to run a 64bit Guest OS in both VirtualBox and VMware. Neither of which wants to recognize that I have Intel Virtualization to allow 64bit guests. I've double checked my BIOS and the feature is still enabled.

In fact, before installing Windows 7 x64 I tested it in a Virtual Machine within Vista x64, so I know this SHOULD be working. I even installed the newest Chipset drivers.

Any recommendations?

Check you BIOS and make sure that No Exceute Bit is enabled.
 
Someone on the VirtualBox Forums saved the day:
Reboot the Host and go into the BIOS
disable vt-x, save BIOS settings, pause machine after bios boot messages
power down the Host (unplug power cord!)
start the Host and go into the BIOS
enable vt-x, save BIOS settings, pause machine after bios boot messages
power down the Host (unplug power cord!)
Boot the Host.

wow.. I would add to the end of the list of recommended actions: replace shitty motherboard. Is this on your IP35 Pro? If so, I suppose i will never own one of those, even if I can find it cheap (I have always wanted one).

you shouldn't have to go through that to get vt enabled.
