shouldnt it?
Does that mean they work better on Intell then AMD mobo's?
its similar to when they say "SLI ready memory" or "crossfire ready memory" when really, both would work identical on any setup. its not like it wouldnt work if you used it on a single gpu setup.
Simply put, it is a software based clone of a real computer you can run along side your actual OS on your computer (if your CPU supports the feature).
You can also get around comparability issues due to your real OS. You have a program that only runs on Windows, but you have a Mac. Install Vista as a Virtual Machine, and install and use the program from within it.
It is also used as a Sandbox environment to test viruses, but most people don't play around with stuff like that. I have and it is fun to watch a virus rape an OS....then I just turn off the Virtual Machine and their is no risk to my PC getting infected.
Only addition is having XMP approval on it.
So its even less impressive.. AKA more marketing BS from Kingston.
