I use Virtualbox and maintain many machines ... xp, vista, win 7, win 8, Linux Mint, Ubuntu, and Mac OS X ... my concern is whether HyperSLI will prevent my use of VB and my virtual machines?
I started up my Mac OS X Virtual Machine I made a while back. My computer crashed, showing a blue screen.

Based on this, my guess is that in most cases, no, it will not work, because HyperSLI is using and hiding SVM and VT-x.

If there's a configuration setting in the virtual machine options to disable the use of SVM and VT-x, it may work. I'm going to try testing it more on Oracle Box. I'll update if I can or can't get it working.

NOTE: I'm guessing at everything and I don't actually know how these things work. Don't take my guesses as fact.

Edit: I couldn't find any settings to disable Virtualization and I couldn't get any machine to boot without bluescreening. Someone else may succeed where I failed; I'm not very experienced with virtual machines.
