[SOLVED] GA-78LMT-USB3 have virtualization ?

[ds.leonardo]

I would like to know if the GA-78LMT-USB3 motherboard have virtualization? When I try to open android emulators they ask me to activate the virtualization but I can not activate it, I already entered the bios but I can not find this option, so I wonder if it's possible to activate?

What CPU do you have? I think the board is an AM3/AM3+ that can support virtualization although the CPU matters too.

Doing virtualization is easier with CPUs that support Virtualization Technology (VT-x) that is they have those instructions. You can still use virtualization on CPUs that don't have/support those extensions, the whole thing will just perform to a lesser degree.

I guess you might need to find older versions of the software that do not force you to have virtualization (VT-x) extensions. VM products like VMware and QEMU were definitely released before those CPU instruction sets were implemented and older versions of these software can run with CPUs that do not have VT-x.

Page 24 of motherboard manual shows Virtualization is [Disabled] by default.

but is it possible to activate by bios? When I enter the bios there is no option

Yes when the CPU supports it and the motherboard has it as Calvin7 mentioned you should be able to enable it in the BIOS.

Oh and I said VT-x in the earlier post which is in fact Intel virtualization technology. AMD's is called AMD-V, however, they more or less serve the same purpose.

Consult the motherboard manual on the manufacturer's site here to see how you should enable it.

Just keep in mind that, according to that page, that model motherboard has 3 revisions. Check markings on the motherboard or its box to see which revision you have.

mine is rev. 6.0, but then when I enter bios I can not find the option to activate AMD-V, I do not have so much experience in hardware, I have to do something to appear the option

The manual for rev. 6.0 here on page 23 indicates the Virtualization setting, where you can enable and disable virtualization, is under the Advanced BIOS Features.
