That's a good point - does anyone know what the new Intel Virtualization thingamajig in the new dual core pentium D's is about? As in is it worth anything? Will it allow a dual simultaneous boot of Linux+WinXP+MaxOS under Xen or something along those lines? Even on an SMP machine? Anyone have any experience/knowledge about this? What level of CPU/hardware(?) does the virt-core support? And is the virt-core 32bit? Cheers, MaZe.
