It would support Hardware assisted virtualization but not SLAT enforced in hardware which increases the overhead because the Hypervisor will have to hold the SPA for each VM in software...



Intel Core? i3-380M Processor (3M Cache, 2.53 GHz)with SPEC Code(s)SLBZX



5400 RPM HDD would be a bottleneck for any virtualization and especially if attempting to do DB work.



What type of gaming?

The Vid card is a business class not gaming class card and the 5400 RPM hard drive is still a bottle neck....you could play at low to medium res most likely...
