Hi there,

I have an older Macbook Pro circa 2008 with an Intel Core 2 Duo T9600 @ 2.8GHz.

According to the Intel site, this cpu supports VT-x. Additionally, when I dual boot into Linux, /proc/info lists vmx as a flag. So --- I think I should be able to run xhyve, right? Your readme states Mac 2010+ ish.

You've got VT-x support but your processor is too old to have EPT support.

@wtallis is correct, i don't believe it will work for you

Thanks, just curious. Wish there were an additional way I could have verified on my own.
