AW: 2900 BIOS questions

[Robert Oschwald]

Adam,

Logical Processors = HyperThreading

Virtualization Technology = Processor-Support for HW-virtualisation (e.g. Intel Vanderpool). 
This can be used in upcoming virtualisation Products like ZEN or VMWare.
See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intel_Virtualization_Technology for details
