I tried this several times, but I didn't met anyone of the vendors, who 
sell cpu's, who even knew about virtualization, and if I told of 
Pacifica or like that, it was like they heard the word for the first 
time. Also I tried that kind of reqest directed to the manufacturer itself.
But here the same: no specifications available, no one of the staff 
knowing about Pacifica.
Maybe they don't like to be bound to any claim of ability of their cpu's.

This was about three month ago. Don't know, if it had changed since then.

The only testimonial, I would trust to, is if I hear of some people, who 
are running it successfully, having precise description of the 
environment, they use.
