I am trying to find a CPU with virtualization for really cheap but i cant even find out which processors actual support that technology. I like having windows but im a guy who likes to learn new things and am trying to get Mac on a VM but my current CPU doesnt support Virtualization. Thanks for reading this thread.

Most of them in the last 6 years or so will support it, but it has to be enabled in the bios. Some do it by default but some don't.

I am a paid professional, but only when I am at work...and getting paid.

Yeah...didn't think about laptop cpus, but most are not suited to a vm anyway. My little netbook has a hard enough time with just one os installed... on and ssd even LOL.
