Re: [Xen-users] Xen and CPUs

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

Potentially looking at getting a couple of Opteron 2218 which are dual-core and 
support AMD-V.  Anybody using these? if so recommendation on a motherboard.  I 
currently have a Tyan Thunder K8W so cannot use this mobo :(

Regards,
