Anyway, if you want to read a bit more on the technology, there's
this wikipedia article.
Just for future reference (and for those who may come to this via a Google search), if for some reason you don't want hardware virtualization support (or you don't want to reboot just to change your BIOS so the VM can boot), you can disable that feature and then start the VM normally, no matter what your BIOS is set to.
Settings -> System -> Acceleration -> Uncheck "Enable VT-x/AMD-V"
Depending on your system, you may also need to ensure "Enable Nested Paging" is unchecked.
