What are the practical (or real) advantages of Intel VT and TxTtechnology (Q8200 vs Q9300) ?
With regard to, say, the following 2 processors: Q8200 and Q9300
The 8200 is listed as not having Intel "virtualization technology" nor Intel "Trusted execution technology". What are the implications of not having those two technologies for a desktop developer system running 64-bit XP-pro with 8gb ram? What will I absolutely not be able to do with a Q8200 (and what will be a major or minor pain, but still possible to do) compared with having the Q9300? |

If you're missing VT you'll never be able to run Hyper-V (which is mainly a server technology anyway), and other virtualization software will perform more slowly although for the moment everything else still runs. |

You'll miss virtualization technology, but absolutely not miss trusted execution technology. Virtualization will for example let you run Linux under Windows, or vice-versa. Trusted Execution is otherwise known as DRM. Not having it will make your life much simpler. Yousuf Khan |

Is it an absolute given that I *won't* be able to run *any* sort of virtualization if I don't have this VT? If I have 64-bit XP installed on this machine, and I want to run a virtual 32-bit XP session, or even a virtual win-98 session, I won't be able? |

virtualization if I don't have this VT? No. VirtualBox uses hardware virtualization if you have VT on but it will run fine (albeit slower) with software virtualization. Tom Lake |

No, there were software-emulated virtualization software before which could still do what you want. Those were mainly provided by Vmware which had this market pretty much to itself in the past: it had the most comprehensive and mature virtualization suite. The recent spate of competition for Vmware has been mainly made possible by the introduction of the hardware virtualization services. So many of the latest virtualization software does depend on the hardware, since they didn't develop the full software-emulation strategies that Vmware has done over several years beforehand. So it's not clear if the newer virtualizers are as good or even could work at all without the hardware backbone behind them. It's also not clear how much longer even Vmware will maintain its old software stack in the face of its simpler hardware stack being available. Yousuf Khan |

The problem is that most modern virtual machine solutions are a mix of virtualization and emulation, so the difference between the two concepts is less well defined in practice. |

The problem is that most modern virtual machine solutions are a mix of virtualization and emulation, so the difference between the two concepts is less well defined in practice. That's certainly news to me. Can you substantiate? Doesn't emulation still have a virtual pedigree from the American Kennel Club? :-) AQ "The monkey and the baboon was playing 7-up.
