Hi! As I understand it, hardware virtualisation makes things simpler if you start from scratch, but if you already have a working virtualization code (like VMware with more than 6 years of experiance) then it brings next to nothing. It is also slower than software virtualization. I am talking about Intel VT and AMD Vanderpool in general. Maybe Opterons have some special speed optimisation, but I doubt it. Anyone knows more? Regards, David

My question is simple: AMD has been touting the Opteron (and specially the 240 Dual-Core Opterons) as virtualization-optimized CPUs... so... does Virtualbox 1.5 take advantage of a Dual-Core Opteron? Are any CPU-specific optimization features on it? Or is there really nothing besides the faster memory bus on the dual-core Opterons that a virtualization app can take advantage of? (sorry for my overly broad question). FC
