Environment:
Motherboard: Asus P5Q3 Deluxe
Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Quad CPU Q8200 @ 2.33GHz 2.34 GHz
Installed Memory (RAM): 4.00GB
OS: Windows 7 Home Premium
Scenario:
I am trying to run OpenShift Origin in VirtualBox and when clicking 'Start' I am getting the error:
"VT-x/AMD-V hardware acceleration is not available on your system. Your 64-bit guest will fail to detect a 64-bit CPU and will not be able to boot".
From my searches on the internet, it seems that such a setting is available in the BIOS however I have been unable to find it.
So I am considering that such an option may not be available on my system?
If this is the case, what options do I have in regards to running OpenShift Origin in VirtualBox?
The specification on the Intel website suggests that your CPU doesn't support hardware virtualization (look for the 'Virtualization Technology (VT-x)' setting):

Hardware virtualization is a requirement for 64-bit guests in VirtualBox, and there is no workaround.
