BIOS update for Inspiron 518 that provides Virtualization support

25 Mar 2009 06:11PM

I recently purchased a quadcore Inspiron 518.

I was really disappointed to find out that there is no virtualization support in the BIOS it came with, (should have done more research.)

Are there any plans for a release to update the BIOS that would include this feature?  Or any work arounds I can do in order to have virtualization support from the motherboard/processor?

Thanks,

Doug

I am also interested in any news on this.  I have Windows 7 Professional and was hoping to use the virtualization for Windows XP Mode.  As it stands right now, I cannot enable it in the BIOS as it is not visible anywhere.

I updated to the latest BIOS - from 1.0.3 to 1.0.8 - and powered off the computer (restart is not enough) and now it appears to work fine.
