what is intel virulization.gaming?

Solution
I ran it fine on 4 cores (3570k) 16GB perfectly well, even ran a dayz server on VM and played dayz on the host.

But it will make no difference on or off unless you are running a virtual machine through VM ware player, or oracle virtualbox or similar.
Virtualization support is a series of commands made available to the OS to more directly allow virtual machines running on bare metal hypervisors or within your OS to access the processor and other components. It will not improve gaming performance at all, unless you run your games inside of VMWare's line of hypervisors, VirtualBox, or other related software.
 
virtualization is dedicating system resources to creating a sandboxed "2nd" (or more) pc/server, with a dedicated task. Often it's used to create virtual servers, or in the case of a desktop, an environment to run a different OS, such as linux, running at the same time as your main OS, as sorta of a pseudo 2nd pc.

basically it has nothing to do with gaming unless you want to play certain games in certain OS... it's also something i wouldn't suggest anyone with less then a 8 core cpu and 16gigs of ram set up (hyperthreading doesn't count)

dayz is a single cored game, so, yes it should run fine on a quad core cpu.

i'm speaking in more general terms. most people who professionally use virtualization need to run a number of tasks. I do it myself, really runs my cpu through the ringer, and when i try to do it on a quad core intel (including i7s) you can see what the lack of real cores does for you pretty quickly.
