I need two technolgies compared:
'Linux KVM' and 'VirtualBox + VT-x enabled'
Interesting items:
1. Performance
2. Technical implementation. Does the 'Virtualbox + VT-X' acting as hypervizor ? if not, what is the difference ?
3. Does KVM technology can implement more features than 'Virtualbox+VT-x' ?

Can anyone give me answer to three positions ?

Please give me a link, if there is one. Thanks

Wow. Is this for school?

If I were researching this I would put those statements in Google.

NO! it's not for school. After using google I found comparison kvm with VirtualBox without VT-x. I need comparison with VT-x enabled.
Can Virtualbox be called Hypervizor when VT-X enabled ?

I did not found any article about this.

sounds more like its for a job interview, or the task has been outsourced to someone who doesn't know what he's talking about.

VirtualBox is a type 2 hypervisor. With or without VT-x enabled.

I typed hypervisor in google and this is one of the links it returned. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypervisor
