Unlike the page on Tomshardware the requirements are NOT particularly stringent!
All you need is a microprocessor that supports virtualization and a motherboard that allows it BIOS to use it!
As for the endless discussion about the relative merits of Dual Booting or Virtualizing........
Microsoft advertised that it was an option and the consumer WANTS IT!
The Intel T4200 and T4300 do not support this!

Yes, MS advertize the Window XP Mode, but,you need to buy a (new) PC with a CPU that supports virtualization, because most likely your current CPU does not have it!
Also Microsoft pulled the plug of Virtual PC 2007 - is does not work on W.7.
I might add that it would see that a lot of interest in XP-Mode revolves around the ability to play games (just like you did in XP - compatibility is NOT the issue - it is SPEED and the lack of performance drop-off experienced when the same games were played in Vista!)
XP-Mode is a virtualization and is SLOW! It is fast enough to decode the CSS keys from a DVD to allow copying with DVD43 but NOT fast enough to play WOW and COD at any sort of frame-rate!
