First of all, recent Intel Atom processors do not support Intel VT-x. According on the section of Troubleshooting of [1] it seems that VT-x is no needed, but according to [2] it seems that VT-x is needed for 64 bit guest. If this is correct, does it mean that in I'd be only able to install 32 bits guests in that machine? Even if I install FreeBSD-amd64? Another topic would be responsiveness, I know that Atom are not speedy, but has anyone used it to virtualize another Linux (with or without X11) and Windows (XP or 7)? Thank you very much!
