Hi,

I took a look at the new Samsung NC-20 Netbook with Via Nano Processor.
Unfortunatly the vmx--bit looks to be disaabled on the Via Nano U2250.
Tested with the newest Bios "7MC". Does anyone know more about this
missing feature?

Hfh,

Oliver

It seems that VIA processors are not fully compatible with Intel VT
specification, quoting Avi: "Via engineers have contacted me and
confirmed that this is a problem in the processor."

Thank you so much for this info! Neither the Via Support nor the Samsung
support werent able (or willing?) to respond this question :-(

Maybe we should correct the wikipedia entry of the via nano in this way?

Best regards

Oliver
