If you are buying a desktop and want virtualization, then (the last time I looked), almost all (if not all) AMD CPUs have hw-virt extensions, while Intel seems to reserve it for the higher-end (read: more expensive) CPUs. > Also are there extra "features" supported under the various open source > virtualization systems, KVM and Xen, under one manufacture but not the > other of any real significance? KVM is essentially a driver for the hw-virt CPU extensions, so of course it supports them. :-) Xen also supports hw-virt I believe. -- Chris Adams <cmadams@xxxxxxxxxx> Systems and Network Administrator - HiWAAY Internet Services I don't speak for anybody but myself - that's enough trouble. -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
