[Xen-users] Intel VT-x resources & supported processors

[Randy Thelen <rthelen@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Folks --

I'm trying to upgrade my home computer systems and wanted to do so  
with Intel processors that support VT-x.  I've been looking all over  
the Intel web site for a list of specific processors that support VT- 
x and have found the following resources.  I will doubtless post this  
all to the Xen wiki at some point, but I thought I'd start with an e- 
mail.  Please reply with follow-up e-mail for corrections and  
clarifications.
First, here's Intel's Virtualization Technology Specification for the  
IA-32 Intel Architecture (which includes IA-32 with EM64T):

Intel's Software Developer FAQ: Intel Virtualization Technology

http://www.intel.com/cd/ids/developer/asmo-na/eng/223724.htm

Intel's Virtualization Resource Center:

http://www.intel.com/business/bss/products/server/virtualization.htm

Intel's Virtualization White Paper:

http://www.intel.com/business/bss/products/server/virtualization_wp.pdf

Interestingly, here's the XenSource Inside Xen 3.0 White Paper:

xen_virtualization_wp.pdf
Intel processors that support virtualization in hardware:

1) Pentium D 900 series (not the 800 series)

http://www.intel.com/products/processor/pentium_D/index.htm

2) Pentium 4 Extreme Edition 955 and 965 (not 840)

http://www.intel.com/products/processor/pentiumXE/index.htm

That's all that I could find on the Intel web site that specified  
support for VT.  Please add to this list with updates.
