[Guillaume]

hi,

Maybe someone can help me choosing new hardware for xen hvm test.
I need a motherboard fully suportting intel vt with intel "core 2 quad
processor". Does someone already using some recent hardware and was
able to correctly set-up this kind of things, and can give me some
advices.

domU (debian) and 2 windows OS.

thanks.

I just put into production a new low-power (65-105W) 1/2U server I built 
using the SuperMicro X7SBA:

and a 45nm Core2Duo.  Centos 5.2 Dom0, DomU is Fedora 8 (for the 
moment).  I haven't tried any of the Hyper-V stuff yet, but it's 
supported in the BIOS and detected by Xen.

The latest BIOS update is essential for proper disk geometry detection.
