[one-users] how to verify whether or not the motherboard support virtualization technology

[Qiubo Su (David Su)]

Dear OpenNebula Community,

I want to upgrade an desktop PC bought 6 years ago to support
virtualization technology. For the whole PC to support virtualization,
apart from the CPU supporting virtualization, the motherboard needs to
support virtualization as well. It is easy to upgrade the CPU, but
difficult to upgrade the motherboard. If the motherboard already supports
virtualization, then I don't need to upgrade the motherboard.

Does anyone know how to check whether the motherboard support
virtualization or not?

in the Ubuntu terminal, run the below commands and get the corresponding
return:

1) dmidecode | grep -A4 'Base Board Information'
Base Board Information
    Manufacturer: Intel Corporation
    Product Name: D945GCCR
    Version: AAD78647-301
    Serial Number: BTCR71100WJ1

2) dmidecode -t 4 | grep Socket
    Socket Designation: LGA 775
The above return is the information of the motherboard of my desktop PC.
don't know whether or not it support virtualization.

Thanks for your help !

Kind regards,
Q.S.
