This is where my confusion starts...
- I can run VirtualBox or QEMU, but not both at the same time.
You can run qemu without -enable-kvm at the same time as virtualbox, but it is quite slow when run that way. It is only when running kvm (which is qemu with -enable-kvm) that you can't run virtualbox (and probably not vmware either for that matter). Only one vm system using vt-x can be enabled at a time.
- VirtualBox can run with or without KVM modules.
No apparently virtualbox can not run if kvm kernel modules are loaded.
- QEMU requires KVM modules.
Only if you run it with -enable-kvm. Otherwise it does its own (slower) thing.
Current machine: i3 cpu, H97 chipset
As far as I know all i3 chips have vt-x, so that should be fine. -- Len Sorensen
