Before I update to VirtualBox-4.1.6-74727-Linux_amd64 I'm wondering if I should enable Intel VT for Direct I/O (it is not enabled presently in the BIOS). I'm running a Slackware 64-bit 13.37 host with a Win7 64-bit guest -- I've been unable to enable 3-D acceleration no matter how I install the guest additions (I've tried doing that in Windows safe mode to no avail).
Is it a good idea to enable this setting in the BIOS and will that permit Win7 to do its thing and not adversely affect the Linux side of the world?

Re: Enable Intel VT for Direct I/O?
Before turning it on, you first have to know what it does and thus help you in any way. I can tell you that it won't help you in any way. 3D is only available for Guests if the Host has proper 3D capabilities.
