DL580 G4 four Xeon Dual-Core Intel 7140M chipset - 64Bit Guest OS?

Looking to see if a DL580 G4 four Xeon Dual-Core Intel 7140M chipset can run a 64Bit Windows 2003 Server Enterprise?

Receiving a error when trying to power the VM up to install the code..

The DL580 G4 does support X64 guest, but by default VT is off in the machine bios (at least it was in the initial bios version)

first update your bios to the latest available here:

then enable VT in the bios and you're set...

Should work, that's a 64 bit ext server, correct? You might need to update the BIOS and enable the VT feature, hopefully that is an option for you.

You both are correct Enabling the Virtual Technology in the BIOS did the trick.. Thanks again.
