I am curious, When you say windows xp emulation, you mean by XEN itself because of the VT feature or in QEMU or VMWARE in the XEN guest system. If it is directly with XEN, can the same thing be done with AMD pacifica which is now shipping out? http://www.ynet.co.il/articles/0,7340,L-3262066,00.html I believe that the 5000 definately supports pacifica.
