    hi
    to use virtualbox or other software , via bios Intel virtualization VT-x must be enabled

    i read that enabled increase global performance , in the article they don't talk about virtual machine
    but general performance of w10 /8 and 7

    is it true ?
    have you noticed some advantage ?
    or some benchmark with and without enabled

    thanks a lot

    hi
    do you keep turn on or off?
    i know seems silly but i run a fast benchmark and i found out that enabled slow down performance about 6%

    thanks

    Hi mantra,
    I always disable Virtualization technology in Bios, and i noticed the same thing like you, like disable EIST (when avalaible).

    I have it enabled, since I need to run x64 OS in Virtualbox. Can't remember if I noticed any slowdown when I first enabled it.
     
  8. You need VT-X enabled to use virtual machines . There is no slowdown if you enable it. Most modern CPU's are fast enough to cope with the workload.
