Lo and behold all the detection utilities I ran told me I was not running AMD-V and that the processor did not support virtualzation. Later, I learned about the utilities to detect and test processors for their ability to support hardware virtualization. Away I went into the virtualized world and after a little fiddling with Virtualization Manager, I had all the VMs I could handle. Not knowing all the nuances of virtualization terminolgy I happily purchased an AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core 5400 processor, dropped it into a PCCHIPS A13G+ mobo (not somethig I would do again) and installed the recently RTM’d Windows Server 2008 with the Hyper-V update. You know, it’s funny, earlier this year I built a new machine specifically to play with virtualization and Hyper-V in particular.
