Very problematic....

The bad news is that your pc must support some sort of special
virtualization mode and even worse not even all new computers have it.
On my one year old m1530, I can turn it on an off in my BIOS. But in
my brand new optiplex 360, it is not available. So you should check on
that capability for your new pc, before you order. Also even with the
virtualization capability, not everything is guaranteed to work in
virtual xp mode.
