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

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
