Having an updated version of the utility it can also help but yet again, the results are not always the expected. (side note: in the Spanish mailing list we've been recently discussing about this issue... a user was a bit perplexed for the results of "lshw" - which uses dmidecode- that showed his micro only had enabled one of the two cores while the rest of the tools said otherwise) > But for this ThinkPad T520 the output appears to be pretty accurate for > me.

It can be also useless -even if dmidecode is right- because the current BIOS revision could be not exposing the VT-x capabilities if they were disabled on purpose by the manufacturer (but can be enabled by updating the BIOS firmware). I think this is one of those specific/complex situations where I prefer to contact the motherboard manufacturer because only they can tell you about the board options and capabilities.
