[Xen-users] cheap mobo/cpu combo with hardware virtualization support?
I''ve currently got a Xen 2 system running on a CL10000 VIA system. I''d like to upgrade to Xen 3 and make use of the hardware virtualization support in Xen (sometimes). My requirements then: 1) Cheap CPU. AMD or Intel. Must have Xen3 hardware VM support. Any speed. 2) Lower power consumption from the CPU 3) Cheap mobo to support the chip. 4) Decent raid-1 SATA support on the mobo, supported under Linux Any recommendations, experiences etc? Cheers Chris _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users

I''ll let you know how I get on. R. _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users
