It is useful if you have an AMD processor capable of virtualization.


SVM stands for secure virtual machine.

This was nicely explained by forum Pro Member Cyclops   in his post in a thread.

SVM?  I've had the DV7 for five years and for the first time today I noticed the "SVM Support" setting in the bios;  I thought that SVM ("Secure Virtual Machine") stood for "Support Vector Machine," or "Scanning Voltage Microscopy" and I just ignored it!  I guess that SVM has many meanings!
