I just checked, and apparently that model does to all the vt-x stuff, so yes good for VM handling, and even better, apparently with a bios update it can do aes-ni which can be very handy too. Linux microcode handling might also handle the job if no bios upgrade exists. -- Len Sorensen --- Talk Mailing List [email protected] http://gtalug.org/mailman/listinfo/talk
