So many of you offered opinions and experiences with AMD processors in response to a comment I made that I am really intrigued now.
This may be a separate thread discussion but I use VirtualBox as my virtualization software of choice. Good or bad I use it and want to continue using it. I appreciate that Intel has two extensions they list for their processors of VT-x and VT-d. I much prefer processors that support these extensions compared to others that do not. Considering my current primary server is running a Pentium M 1.6 anything today would be faster. I do not use any virtualization on this machine, but with the need to upgrade it I would like to offload some of my virtualization needs to this machine as well. I looked at various processors on the AMD site but I cannot find more than a generic line that says XX processors has AMD Virtualization... blah blah What extensions should I look for in a AMD processor for decent virtualization? Does AMD have any budget processors that have these extensions? Any recommendations? I appreciate your input... P.S. I would love to read a discussion about various virtualization softwares and your uses, but in a different thread. I prefer VBox because it is free (price) and has a better interface than libvirt or whatever Fedora prefers and occasionally I will load up a VBox image in Windows where it works and acts the same as my linux versions, once I change the network card.
