ESXi 5.1 requires the NX/XD bit to be enabled for the CPU in the BIOS. A full list of the ESXi 5.1 Hardware Requirements can be found in the Check the (HCL), to discover if your computer is certified for use with ESXi 5.1. If your computer is not listed on the VMware HCL, it may still be possible to install and run VMware ESXi 5.1 on your laptop, desktop, or server.
