Most new machines now have the virtualization flags. It's always worth checking before you buy, though.i do recall reading somewhere that, yes, you have to be careful to check that the system not only has the virt extension but that it's *turned on*. i can't recall where i read that, does anyone have a URL? something about selling a system cheaper because you've simply disabled the extension, but advertising it as if it *does* have it.
On my HP/Intel machines you have to enable the virtualization feature in the BIOS. It is off by default, and the option is oddly buried in a "Security" menu.
