Hi, i consider to buy a new PC for my Desktop. Now i need Windows for do some work with Photoshop. I would like to buy a AMD X2 4200 with Socket AM2 and the new Pacifica. Supports XEN this CPU together with windows nativly? How fast Windows will works with SDL? Could i use 32bit color deep with SDL? I use fast SATA-Raid with a lot of RAM 4GB ontop of Gentoo Linux Hope someone could answer my questions, regards from germany Jens _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users

Hi Jens, Trying almost exactly the same setup as you have, I can say that Windows XP do work *but* I can''t get the network to work in 3.0.2-2, in testing the domains status was paused (should be a patch around here - but I know very little about this), in unstable dom0 didn''t boot at all so I don''t know about that one. About performance I don''t know ''cause I''m using VNC on another machine. Hope that helps, Marcus Jens Gassmann skrev:> Hi, > > i consider to buy a new PC for my Desktop.

For the moment, I wouldn''t really recommend running high-end graphical applications on this setup. Some people seem to get good results with Remote Desktop however, so that may be a choice - don''t ask me more about it tho'', as I''m just reporting what I''ve read, and I havne''t tried it myself. -- Mats> > Hope someone could answer my questions, > > regards from germany > Jens > > > _______________________________________________ > Xen-users mailing list > Xen-users@lists.xensource.com > http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users > >_______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users

Re: [Xen-users] AMD64 AM2 supports Windows XP?
The CPU will be fine. You will run into problems when running it using SDL (damn slow - compare it to an KVM) but remote desktop works fast. (there is a package available for linux/unix) As for your SATA raid you may run into problems. Not all modules from all distributions are supported in the Xenified kernels... ;) For the memory: You might rin into trouble there... AM2 boards are somewhat picky on that. Hope, that new revisions will get better. Make sure to order these things at Alternate or kinda this and order serveral modules from various companies (and various sizes/speeds) - send these back that don''t work...
