Thank you for your time Brian, and I do apologize / My next question after Xen is loading is going to be exactly that; all about Xen I guess. Ya that TxT implemtation--> although it's worth using to help others. Seems like a GPG-layer for bios implementation; something or other.

Paul,
Enabling VT-d in the BIOS should give you what you want to run Xen (or any hypervisor) on this system.  I have a Lenovo M57p myself and run various hypervisors on it without issue.
Beware of TxT.  To be honest I had never heard of this, but after reading about it:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trusted_Execution_Technology

I would be wary of enabling it.

I'm not sure where this requirement came from.  VT-d is what you want, so if it's enabled, you should be good to go.
Brian
