My Intel Core i5 M480 supports Intel virtualization technology. I get an option to enable this in BIOS. But I don't know what this thing is. Should I enable it or leave it disabled?

if u r planing to use SErver os with HYper V or Virtual box or VMware to run a OS inside ur primary os

like Installing LInux inside ur win 7 or vice ver u should enable it for better performance ELSE u can disable

though virtualization is a bit old, but this will make a good read
also :: x86 virtualization - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

It is hardware virtualization, I'd recommend enabling it only if you use any OS virtually with VirtualBox or VMware. Some OS need hardware virtualization to be run virtually.
