Can anyone suggest a good retail source of AMD Opteron CPUs when the
quad core versions become available? Also what would be a good
motherboard for these CPUs. I assume the quad core units (all versions
and price levels of them) support full virtualization.
I'm pretty sure Barcelona chips are unavailable except as engineering
samples. Last I heard availability was tentatively scheduled for August[1].
Barcelona has full virtualisation -- not sure about "all versions and
price levels", but certainly any version which you'd want to buy should
support it. Should also supported nested page tables (boot the Xen
hypervisor with hap=1 option to enable it).
