Hi,

I got GA-P35-DS3L v.2 motherboard,

I'm trying to run Virtual Machine with MAC OS, but I'm getting this message:

Mac OS X is not supported with software virtualization. To run Mac OS X you need a host on which VMware Workstation supports hardware virtualization.

How to fix it?

tried already in bios to enable virtualization support, didnt find any option like this on bios.

what to do?

Thanks.

I am afraid that I have never tried to run OSX on this or any other machine. There have been instances on the forum of other members using the virtulisation support so I would suggest doing a search and see what you can come up with. If not I am sure someone on here must have some experience with it.

Hi there,

Apparently, reading through the User's Manual for your Motherboard, Virtualization is only supported if your CPU allows it. If your CPU does support this feature then you should be able to find the option under the heading: Advanced BIOS Features.
Remember, when all else fails a cup of tea and a good swear will often help! It won't solve the problem but it will make you feel better.

I would suggest that you check the specs of the Intel E7200 chip to see if it supports virtualisation.

According to Intel here: http://ark.intel.com/Product.aspx?id=35348 your CPU doesn't support Virtualization.
