This is very wrong:
- none of the Pentium, Celeron, Atom processors, even the latest ones,
  come with VT
- none of the Core 2 Duo E7xxx and Core 2 Quad Q8xxx support VT
Be very careful into what you buy, check processorfinder.intel.com.

Interestingly I found out that Intel will enable VT on a very small
number of Core 2 and Pentium processors on June 12:
