I was reading the July 2012 issue of Maximum PC (sorry, article not posted online) where they were talking about creating virtual machines within Windows 7 (such as running OSX and Linux). My question is what Ivy Bridge (and Sandy Bridge) processors and chipsets support virtualization (e.g. with VMWare). I am not sure which ones I should look at: Z68 vs. Z77; core i5 or i7; -K or non-K models.
Thank you in advance for your input. If you have any other advice about this, I would like to hear that too.
