I'm using `Vagrant 1.6.3` and `VirtualBox 4.3.14` on a `Windows 7` box.

Issue
-----

I can't get `Laravel Homestead` up and running.

Excerpt of the console output:

Question
--------

How could it be fixed provided that Laravel Homestead is Windows 7 32-bit ready?

Nota bene
---------

This post is similar to "[Timeout while trying to vagrant up](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/24555255/timeout-while-trying-to-vagrant-up)" but nevertheless it calls for the following observations:

* The latter didn't receive enough attention, no satistactory answer so far (as the time of the post)
* This one provides more (relevant) details.

My bad: I didn't provide sufficient details as I pretended: My computer has not a **VT-x** capable cpu!
