Just out of curiosity... On what motherboard do you have installed 8 CPUs?

Robert,

I am not sure what motherboard it is using. But it is an HP xw6600 Workstation and has two Intel Xeon E5405 quad-core CPU's in it.

hi tom, i was looking at the hp xw6600 as a testbed for windows 2008 and planned to run hyper-v on it. as part of the prerequisites it says you need to enable 'hardware-assisted virtualization' and 'no execute bit' options in the motherboard, however HP could not tell me if these options appeared, and looking at their bios simulator for that model it appears there are no options. are they enabled by default in the bios?

i assume if you are using hyper-v without problems then it should be ok for me to go ahead and buy the xw6600?

Thanks

Andoni,

Yes I am using it just fine. I believe those those are all set correctly. I did have to make a change in the Bios, but everything has been working great.

Tom,

What change in the BIOS on the xw6600 did you make? I just grabbed the latest BIOS (1.24) and I don't see anywhere to turn on VT.

Thanks,

Greg

Tom,

Never mind... I found it.

In the BIOS Security menu, under OS Security...

Thanks
