detecting hardware support

I have a desktop machine that has an intel CPU that supports hardware
virtualization. Is there a way to determine if VPC is actually making use of
it?

Contacting the manufacturer, support states the machine supports it. I do
not see a bios setting for it, which I am used to seeing. Is there a utility
out there somewhere that would test to see if it is actually enabled?
