P6X58D-E Virtualization
- Thread starter Darko
- Start date
Virtualization technology is basically used by software to create "Guest OS's" (otherwise known as Virtual Machines) on the host OS, this has many many advantages - especially for a network administrator, even the average user. For example, Windows 7 Ultimate/Professional/Enterprise have a feature that you can get known as "Windows XP Mode" which in turn is a virtual machine that is more integrated in to Windows 7 to bypass any compatability issues with an XP program and Windows 7 which can't be solved through the compatibility tab.
Disabling it will not have any adverse effect on your system, though you won't be able to use Virtualization software such as Hyper-V (on Windows Server 2008R2), Linux RedHat's Virtualization software (only read about it, never used it myself personally), VirtualBox, VMWare, etc... However having it enabled shouldn't cause any BSOD's (personally I have it enabled as I use several Virtual Machines using OS's like RedHat server, Server 2008R2, Windows 7 Enterprise) for testing and educational purposes (studying towards my MCTS accreditation for example).
