It does - I'm actively using it on virtualbox - enabled the radio
button for AMD-V since this Athlon 64x2 can do virtualization - even
64 bits, in the newer version of Virtualbox. I have a sidux guest that
I occasionally boot as well as a Mandriva (but that's only i586).

I don't have it on the laptop (T5800 dual core core2duo). I noticed
that when I tried booting a recent (q4 2008) version of sidux that
there was a blurb in dmesg saying that it wouldn't start KVM because
the processor can't handle virtualization.

I haven't tried using any other virtualization except for qemu which I
occasionally use for quick and dirty iso testing, and less so now that
I can boot them on a laptop without having to reboot the desktop :).
