All the current Intel Centrino platforms have support for the intel extensions. I find the penryn processors very good and have run up to 3-4 virt machines on my Dell D630. It has a T9300 processor which has 6 meg cache (not sure how useful that is for virt) but I would recommend lots of RAM, and a 7200 RPM HDD. > p.s. is there, in fact, a separate mailing list for discussion of > virtualization on fedora for non-experts? that would be *so* cool. Well there's fedora-virt [1] but I would suggest the usual fedora-[users|test|devel] lists are also a useful place to discuss virt, as long as its on topic with the particular list. fedora-users may be relevant for non-experts stuff, or maybe -test if your testing new stuff etc. Peter [1] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-virt -- fedora-test-list mailing list fedora-test-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-test-list
