<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt">Dear OpenNebula Community,<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt">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.<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<p class="MsoNormal">Does anyone know how to check whether the motherboard support virtualization or not?<o:p></o:p></p>
<div>
<p>in the Ubuntu terminal, run the below commands and get the corresponding return:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>1) dmidecode | grep -A4 'Base Board Information'<br>
Base Board Information<br>
Manufacturer: Intel Corporation<br>
Product Name: D945GCCR<br>
Version: AAD78647-301<br>
Serial Number: BTCR71100WJ1<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>2) dmidecode -t 4 | grep Socket<br>
Socket Designation: LGA 775<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt">The above return is the information of the motherboard of my desktop PC. don't know whether or not it support virtualization.<o:p></o:p></p>
