Does Intel CPU Support Virtualization? Find with Intel Processor Identification Utility

So you want to try out some software like VirtualBox that relies heavily on the virtualization technology support from your computer’s main processor whether it is CPU or or some other kind of processor? The first think you have to find out, of course, is whether your processor supports any kind of virtualization technology or not. You can obviously go and look up on the internet if you know the ID or the make of processor installed in your PC. But if you are clueless to this information too, then you will find Intel Processor Identification Utility a blessing.
