    Came across this..

    Does anyone still have a copy of this tool? (link is dead)
    I've searched on the net and can't find anything like it.
    I'm wanting to confirm 100% that VT-x is enabled (I'm running a MM core-duo)

    I thought it wasn't when I checked the "about this program" window in Parallels.
    But then I noticed that it does show up once the virtual machine has loaded...
    Virtualization Mode: Intel VT-x

    If it turns out it isn't actually enabled, I want to follow these instructions

    Cheers,

    If the virtualization mode is "Intel VT-x" when a VM is running, then VT-x is enabled on your computer. It's normal for the virtualization mode to be "off" when a VM isn't running.

    thanks brkirch,

    I realise that's probably the case, but I'd still like to get my hands on such a tool so that I can verify it for myself.

    cheers
