In the lab we use: - Intel Desktop Board DG35EC - Intel Core 2 Duo E7300 2.66 GHZ with Virtualization Technology (VT). - 2GB RAM (but Mobo can support up to 8GB) KVM uses VT to improve support of VMs. In our tests, the server can effectively handle 3 guest Linux OS (with GUI) compiling the kernel (using default kernel config it took 30 mins). We have also tested a guest Linux OS (Ubuntu) serving 3 remote X Desktop to thin clients running desktop applications such as Gimp and Scribus (but working with medium resolution graphics). Holden
