I am building an AMD system using the latest Phenom X4 specifically to do hardware assisted virtualization. To enable virtualization there are two things that needs to be met: You need a CPU that is virtualization enabled (AMD-V) and motherboard that also support it.

Gigabyte GA-MA78GM-S2H

So I am trying to play counter strike source using parallel desktop on my macbook pro. When I click on the icon for the game it just doesnt open..
Someone told me that its because parallels doesnt have graphics chip virtualization support. How do I get this?

All the games are not supported by any computer in this world. In the same way Parallels also does not support all the games and especially because it has all the virtual hardware and the drivers for them are made by parallels itself. It becomes difficult to run high end graphical games on a virtual computer. You can check out the supported games in this link

i was on newegg.com and i saw these when i was looking at a processor, what do they mean and do? thanx

This paper presents MORA, a new coarse-grain reconfigurable architecture optimized for multimedia processing. The system has been designed to provide a dense support for arithmetic operations, wide internal data bandwidth and efficiently distributed memory resources. All these characteristics are combined in a cohesive structure to efficiently support a block-level pipelined dataflow, which is particularly suitable for stream-oriented applications. Moreover, the new reconfigurable architecture is highly flexible and easily scalable. MORA (Multimedia Oriented Reconfigurable Array) has drastically improved performance- and areaefficiency compared to the state of the art FPGA, DSP and other reconfigurable systems in executing multimedia-oriented applications. In computing 8×8 2D DCT, MORA delivers orders of magnitude times higher throughput efficiency compared to Morphosys, Virtex-4 or TMS320DM642-720 DSP architectures.

I’m thinking about buying this processor from newegg.com:

and I intend to install it in my P-6831FX gateway laptop.

****Just to double check before I make this purchase, does a socket P processor work with any socket P mother board? and is there any sense in buying a CPU with a higher clock rate? Maybe I’m already going over kill with 2.66Ghz? I currently have a 1.8Ghz processor.****
