SLAT-enabled processor is the requirement of Hyper-V RemoteFX feature which is introduced in Windows Server 2008 R2. It’s the requirement of Windows 8 client Hpyer-V feature as well.
For INTEL CPU models, following CPU models are SLAT-Capable
- Server: E5500 or higher.
- Desktop/Laptops: I3/I5/I7/I7-qm
There is a handy tool named CoreInfo from systeminternals that can check if your CPU is SLAT-Capable, it’s pretty easy to use:
- Download from http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/cc835722
- Launch an elevated command prompt
- Run “CoreInfo.exe -v”
If you see EPT * Supports Intel extended page tables (SLAT) then you are good.
