enabling VT on dell pe2900 (dual core 5016 processors)

[marvinb]

Is there anything to be gained by turning on VT on this system?

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.

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.
