Is there anything to be gained by turning on VT on this system?
You have to enable it to run 64-bit guests. Otherwise you don't need it if you plan to run just 32-bit guests.
If you want to run 64bit VMs you need to turn it on.
If not - you can ignore it. But it wouldn't hurt either.
check this thread... Gives a good idea of the VT possible gain.
