Does the dual core AMD Athlon 64 X2 4400+ support AMD-V

64-bitcentral-processing-unitvirtualizationxenserver

I am trying to setup some VM's on Citrix XenServer but can't enable Hardware Virtualization support. In the XenServer install it prompted me to enable this, and upon creating a VM I got a "HVM required" error.

I have a dual core AMD Athlon 64 X2 4400+ processor – does this have support for AMD-V?

How can I enable this to run this software/VM's?

If it helps I am running:

  • a Mach Speed MSNV-939 motherboard
    with 3 gigs of RAM.
  • Pheonix Technologies 6.0 BIOS

Edit: It looks like the chip can do it, but not with the 939 socket, I need the AM2 socket. Can anyone confirm this?

Thank you,

AMD added hardware virtualization with the AM2 socket. Your current chip is made for socket 939 and does not support hardware virtualization.
