XP mode a no-go on some AMD chips too

Intel playing virtual silly buggers
,----[ Quote ]
| You're supposed to be able to run an x86 app on any Intel x86 (or AMD x86)
| processor. That's what x86 compatibility means, right? Wrong: Windows 7 XP
| Mode won't run on many multi-core Intel processors because Intel is arsing
| about with its Intel VT feature.
|
| For a PC to run Windows 7's XP Mode, the system must support either Intel
| Virtualisation Technology (Intel VT) or AMD Virtualisation (AMD-V) and have
| such support enabled in the BIOS. Several, in fact many, Intel multi-core
| CPUs don't support Intel VT despite other CPUs in the same family supporting
| it.
