What is this?
BIOS stands for Basic Input/Output System.
It refers to a piece of firmware which is run when powered on. Its
primary functions are to identify and initiate component hardware, and
to prepare the computer so that other programs can load.
What does it fix?
If your VAIO hardware supports Intel Virtualization Technology, this
setting will be added to the BIOS. The VT setting is disabled
by
default.
Even if this BIOS is
posted for your VAIO model, it will only create the BIOS option for
models with a VT-compatible CPU.
To test if the CPU of your VAIO is compatible with Intel®
Virtualization Technology, you can also download and install the Intel®
Processor Identification Utility, which can be found here: http://www.intel.com/support/processors/tools/piu/sb/CS-014921.htm
