AFAIR the 478 P4 doesn't include the required VT extensions.

Both are free.
QEMU is slower, but GPL.
VMWare is (much) faster, but it's close source and as such, if it
breaks, your own your own. *

Gilboa, what about Xen?

If you don't have VT extensions, you can only run paravirtualised
(read as: modified) versions of other OS's. So you won't get to
run Windows without VT.

[rumor has it there's a paravirt version of Windows XP, but it
hasn't been publically released].
