I was talking *only* about RHEL support but here are the details if you want to know http://www.redhat.com/rhel/server/virtualization_support.html > I have a pair of systems, i7-950, 12GB RAM, 4x1TB RAID5, doing VM hosting.

Benchmarking has shown conclusively that x86_64 has much better performance for virtualization if you have over 4GB RAM for typical workloads.
