I think even all current-production Atom CPUs have VT-x, and have for a few years now. The problem with VirtualBox without VT-x is that their trick of patching the guest OS to run in ring 3 doesn't play nice with our method of dynamically patching various primitives in the kernel to be efficient in particular machine configurations. I thought they'd fixed that, though... Thor
