Ed Bott recently touched upon a growing concern that many modern Intel CPUs will not support the highly-touted Windows XP Mode for Windows 7 as a seemingly random assortment of Intel’s current offerings do not carry hardware virtualization, a requirement of XPM. AMD processors also contain hardware virtualization in a form known as AMD-V. We’ve moved to assemble a list of modern AMD processors that can and cannot run Windows 7’s upcoming virtualized Windows XP.
