Hi,

I have to buy a new SOHO-server soon. Please let me ask some xen-related 
questions here...

Is the hardware needed for x86 hw virtualization already available and what 
are the advantages of using hw virtualization?
It looks like Pentium D (8x0) does support virtualization. Is chipset-support 
also required? 

Is someone already using such hardware?

According to the roadmap XEN 3 will be released in the next few weeks. Will it 
fully support hw virtualization?
And (much more interessting) will it allow unmodified guests (Windows)?

Thanks a lot

Thomas
