[Xen-users] Hardware requirements to run Windows on Xen 
| 
Hello,
Apologies if this has been asked before.
I've never used Xen before and I'd like to buy a new machine to try it 
on. I'd like to run Windows and Linux on it. 
I've read online that I'll need either an Intel VT-x or AMD Pacifica 
chip to be able to run Windows on a Xen server. As far as I know, 
Pacifica chips aren't on the market yet, but VT-x chips are in the form 
of the Pentium-D 9xx CPUs. 
My question is this: if I buy a Pentium-D 9xx system, how I can tell 
whether the motherboard/BIOS support hardware virtualization such that I 
can install and run Windows on Xen? 
Is there anything else I need to look out for when buying a system for Xen?
Thanks,
Yasir
