VT-x is the actual hardware virtualisation assistance - absolute
necessary, whereas VT-d allows you direct passthrough of devices,
such as PCI devices, not essential in PC environments but nice to have
when running server (vSphere server where you need RAID cards
passed through directly to the guest etc.).
