Windows 2008 q6600

That box is running a Q, but any 4 core box will be fine -- as long as it supports the hardware virtualization which the Q9 series with intel and all Phenom X4s. It's been mentioned on these forums before that the 45 nm processors' VT implementation is superior to that on the 65 nm processors, so a 45 nm quad-core processor with VT such as the Q would be superior to the Q For more VMs, I'd prefer the Q, where the parallelism inherent in running multiple VMs would better exploit that processor and likely outperform the E A Phenom X4 will likely outperform the Q handily on virtualization tasks, not least because it supports Nested Page Tables and has a higher clock speed.

Do beware of the fact that it isn't the most efficient processor, although a more efficient stepping is expected to be launched by the end of the quarter. Xen 3. So the smaller cache of the 4 Mb vs the Q's 8 Mb isn't that big of an issue? We are focusing a lot on Windows Server and Hyper-V at work so I will most likely go that route. And yes, I will be running at least VM's at the same time, one of them being an ISA server, so I need to be able to squeeze out as much performance as possible.

Thanks for everyones input, very much appreciated. Cache comparison isn't fair between AMD and Intel, so don't bother. Windows is still new, along with their Hyper-V implementation. Whatever VM is going to use the disk a lot , then consider real physical disk for that VM.

You wouldn't want to run a DB on it, but you can squeeze plenty else out of them. MSI s []: Product: Microsoft. NET Framework is part of your operating system and cannot be installed or uninstalled with this setup.
