[Xen-users] Xen and CPUs

["--[ UxBoD ]--" <uxbod@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I have successfully installed Xen 3.1 from the CentOS 5.1 repos, and have got a 
new host system up and running.  I had issues when creating my first guest due 
to running a SMP based system, and Dom-U had two CPUs assigned to it.  Once I 
set that to one the host installed just fine and dandy.

Now, my question is can I install another guest so that it shares the other CPU 
(along with my newly created guest) or would I have to get a couple of 
dual-core Opterons instead ?

My current CPUs are Opteron 250s, so do not support AMD-V, and I have 6GB of 
memory in the server.

Just want to know whether I need to spend lots of money on a new motherboard 
and CPUs, or get away with getting a couple of DC Opterons.

TIA.

ps.  Xen is so much friendlier than VMWare from a resource perceptive :D  Good 
work.

Regards,
