Its a CPU thing - http://ark.intel.com/Products/VirtualizationTechnology. If you fit the right CPU, then you can enable vt-x in bios.

I am aware it is a CPU thing as I am sure my CPU supports it, but thanks anyways. I just can't find the option in bios.

Read your mobo manual. It should show you how.

Good Advice! Though I may say its useless (at least now, maybe not later) as I hoped I could find a quick answer asking on the forum. Being as ignorant as I am(also lazy) im sure this will come in handy hopefully at a future time.

The 4670k does support Vt-x

From your motherboard:

pg 84. Talks to Vt-d, not VT-x

@USAFRet Does this mean the motherboard just doesn't support it or am I misunderstanding something? If so this is rather unfortunate as I was hoping to play around with some VMs and my current cpu does not support VT-d(I believe). Thankfully though this is not an urgent issue. Thank you.

I am unsure of that particular CPU/MB combination.

Try it. See what happens.
VirtualBox and a Linux OS is free to try.

Noodling around in my bios has lead me to a screen that tells me VT-x is supported but gives me no option to enable/disable. Conversely, it does give me the option to enable/disable VT-d, but all it says is unsupported. I have no clue what to think of this...
