Hi,

I am running Xen on two old Opterons at the moment but would like to upgrade my server so I can run more VMs.

Would you recommend that I go for Opterons again with AMD-V technology, or would the new AMD Phenoms be okay ? There appears to be a big price difference between the two.

The Phenoms and newer Opterons include Nested Page Table (NPT) support.

From my understanding the first round of Phenoms had a bad bug in them, which has since been fixed in the newer versions.

Cheers,
Todd

Thanks in advance.

Regards,
