Is the Intel-VT option so you can run 64bit Windows OS because I remember running VMware ESX on HP G3 and G4 servers that didn't support Intel-VT. It just seems that all the Hypervisors are requiring Intel-VT lately. @Admin

I am using a HP 6710B with Intel Duo Core T7100 CPU with 4GB's of RAM.. Enabled the Virtualization Technology in the BIOS but I am still getting the message. Haven't tried to create any Windows VM's yet. Also did you install the Linux Pack? The Question I have is did you get the message about your hardware not supporting Hardware Virtualization.

Would it recognise the onboard sata? Apparantly the Dell Latitude D630 works! I'm thinking of installing onto a laptop so it doubles up as an UPS.

Thanks, JG Hi there,

We are a small shop but got a fair share of servers. I was reading through citrix making theirs free and seeing whats offered and was blown. But seeing you had been playing with both was wondering if there is anything that you find in esxi that you would like to have seen in citrix or missing or something. Love the article. Thanks Aben Hi
