You need to have a chipset that supports VT too. What system is this processor in?

yes, that one can support VT,

but:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Intel_chipsets

Check the Core2 chipsets section. If you have got something with a 9xx chipset, you do not have VT support. It is not implemented in all chipsets that do support some of the VT-enabled processors. The fact a VT-enabled CPU runs in a board does not mean the board automatically supports ALL features of the CPU...
