Thanks for all the replies.
Looking at the specs for the processor it does not seem to have the vmx features in /proc/cpuinfo:
http://www.notebookcheck.net/Intel-Core-2-Duo-T6400-Notebook-Processor.35100...
and the output from grep -E ‘vmx|svm’ /proc/cpuinfo is empty.

Is it still possible to create some KVM type virtual machines with this laptop, to be ported to the VM host server machine later, or do I need another laptop with the required CPU flags?
Kind Regards,
Keith

Keith,
What error?
What's your processor? if it's AMD, you need modprobe kvm_amd instead of kvm_intel.

Thanks Marcos.
I tried modprobe kvm and that loaded that kernel module.
I got an error trying to load the kvm_intel module though.

Hello,
IMO, it's better to check for this on the official Intel site: http://ark.intel.com/products/40479/Intel-Core2-Duo-Processor-T6400-2M-Cache...
This CPU does not support hardware-assisted virtualization.

Keith,
You should use the user root to load module kvm_intel.
Best,
