Installing kvm /dev/kvm missing

I'm trying to install kvm extensions in my computer.

I'm following this guide

KVM installation

KVM is not available in my machine and I have a 32 bits one.

rocio@rocio-laptop:~$ sudo /usr/sbin/kvm-ok INFO: Your CPU does not support KVM extensions KVM acceleration can NOT be used
rocio@rocio-laptop:~$ uname -m i686

Everything seems to be ok until the verifying

rocio@rocio-laptop:~$ ls -l /dev/kvm ls: no se puede acceder a /dev/kvm: No existe el archivo o el directo

that means in spanish the file or folder doesnt exist.

Where is the problem?

I add some information after the bodhi.zazen's answer.

I have 2 processor:

rocio@rocio-laptop:~$ cat /proc/cpuinfo processor : 0 vendor_id : GenuineIntel cpu family : 6 model : 23 model name : Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU T6400 @ 2.00GHz

But none Intel or AMD:

rocio@rocio-laptop:~$ grep vmx /proc/cpuinfo
rocio@rocio-laptop:~$ grep svm /proc/cpuinfo
rocio@rocio-laptop:

Also, in Intel website, it seems to be a 64 bits processor

I'm lost!

From the error message:

INFO: Your CPU does not support KVM extensions
KVM acceleration can NOT be used

And your processor is an i686

See:

and

So to use KVM you need to upgrade your processor

You can use Virtualbox and qemu, but they will be slower then KVM
