Okay, did find t he following, but it was from '09 ...

https://forums.virtualbox.org/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=19420

I just tried to install 8.2/64bit on my 7-STABLE 64bit server … error comes up as 'CPU doesn't support long mode' … the above link indicates that this is because my CPUs don't support some features, but, my system is only a year old … 

dmesg shows my CPU as:

CPU: Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU           E5420  @ 2.50GHz (2500.10-MHz K8-class CPU)
  Origin = "GenuineIntel"  Id = 0x1067a  Family = 6  Model = 17  Stepping = 10
  Features=0xbfebfbff<FPU,VME,DE,PSE,TSC,MSR,PAE,MCE,CX8,APIC,SEP,MTRR,PGE,MCA,CMOV,PAT,PSE36,CLFLUSH,DTS,ACPI,MMX,FXSR,SSE,SSE2,SS,HTT,TM,PBE>
  Features2=0x40ce3bd<SSE3,DTES64,MON,DS_CPL,VMX,EST,TM2,SSSE3,CX16,xTPR,PDCM,DCA,SSE4.1,XSAVE>
  AMD Features=0x20100800<SYSCALL,NX,LM>
  AMD Features2=0x1<LAHF>
  TSC: P-state invariant
  Cores per package: 4


And according to Intel's site, it does support VT-x:

So, this is something else altogether … ?  

Thx
