AMD and Intel started adding virtualization support in 2005/2006 and I 
think all of the dual/quad core processors support it. Wikipedia has a 
pretty good article on the introduction at 
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X86_virtualization if you're interested. 
It's pretty much assured that the next machine you buy will support it.
