Building a processor list for "Windows 8 unsupported processors (0x0000005D)"

After my postings about installing Windows 8 and getting stuck with 0x0000005D (posting 1, posting 2), i tried to create a list with processors which are not accepted from Windows 8 with 0x0000005D:
  • Virtualbox: Pentium(R) Dual-Core CPU       T4200  @ 2.00GHz
  • Virtualbox: Intel Core2 Duo E6750
  • Pentium 4 2.6 GHz (referenced here)
  • Pentium 4-M
  • Pentium Dual core 2.8 GHz

On this blog the following processor feature are stated as necessary:

  • mmx
  • sse
  • nx
  • pae
  • vt-x / amd-v (<- if you want to run Windows 8 inside Virtualbox)
    This has to activated like shown here (picture from http://www.borncity.com/blog)

If you have the same error, please post a comment with your processor type, so the list can be filled...

Thanks!
