My intel chip doesn't support VT-x
I've done other video tutorials where I've used virtual envs, but vagrant and Virtual Box appear to be something very different.
Can I work around the lack of VT and somehow still use the GSWD videos or am I just SOL short of buying a new laptop? Yes, I feel shame, but cheap little Acer never did me wrong before. THANKS

Seems like, with a lot of PCs (as opposed to Apples), there's a kernel/processor switch that makes the 64bit VMs work or not. I'm sorry that I don't have such a machine to test on, so I'm not more help (looks like jollyfellow provided a couple of links).
Running as precise32 should be fine for what you're doing in these lessons. It just isn't what you'd want to deploy on if you made your own server and isn't what Heroku provides when you deploy on their system. Sticking close to your production environment is never a bad idea.
You could also do the lessons on your actual machine, instead of a VM, but you'd have to get Postgres, Python, and other items installed before you could really start.

OK, so downloaded Precise 32 (instead of 64) instead and the vagrant init and then pasted the cookbooks into the folder and edited the Vagrant file to make it essentially the same and everything synced/built nicely stating that it was doing it with Precise 32
