Hi all, I want to run Xen 3.0 with unmodified guests so I know I need an Intel chip with virtualisation technology. Does anyone have any recommendations on the chips/motherboards etc... to use?

They are dual-core, large cache, high speed, 64 bit capable processors that support Intel''s VT technology. These plug in to several boards. We used the Intel 955XBK: http://www.intel.com/support/motherboards/desktop/d955xbk/index.htm This board and processor combination spec''d out quite well and performed as expected without any issues. We didn''t over clock it, we just wanted straight functionality and it delivered. -- Randy _______________________________________________ Xen-devel mailing list Xen-devel@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-devel
