Yikes, definitely no virtualization support there.  A P4 at 1.5GHz will 
be outperformed by a P3 at 1GHz.  Intel VT support showed up for some of 
the Pentium D chips and the Core 2 line.  AMD's timeframe is similar. 
You can still use Qemu, but it's going to be slow.  No idea how VMWare 
compares here.
