VMWare Fusion: Hardware-Assisted Virtualization

I've gotten one of the new MacBook Pro's with the Nehalem Intel processor that should be able to swing Intel VT-x.  But my Windows VM seems horribly slow compared to Windows VMs I've used in the past.

It feels almost like hardware virtualization isn't on.  And I found a page that suggested how to set it in the VM preferences here: http://communities.vmware.com/docs/DOC-9150.  It says to set the VM preferences to monitor.virtual_exec = "hardware".  But I can't find that setting.

Any ideas?

After 3 years, it's on the horizon.  The new JinxBot, and BN#, the managed Battle.net Client library.

VMware uses VMX files for the guest OS configurations.  Find that file and change the setting.  If the setting doesn't exist, you can simply add it in.
