That is an old Socket 940 motherboard, so it wouldn't take the Socket F
processor that you need for the virtualization to work. You'd need a
motherboard with either Socket F or Socket AM2 (or whatever the mobile
socket is called). 

There probably won't be any mention on the motherboard specs to say
virtualization in the AMD case, as it's really nothing to do with the
motherboard - it's all built into the processor. But you need the latest
revision of processor, which has the latest memory controller supporting
DDR2. So if the motherboard supports DDR2, it also supports the
Virtualization enabled processor.
