Even it is a quite old motherboard "Intel Virtualization Technology"
BIOS options is enabled. I cannot change that option though. My
motherboard just for info is a Fujitsu-Siemens G31T-M2 which is some
ECS OEM motherboard with G31 chipset.

enabled but still no VT in Virtualbox under Debian and Windows XP 32
