    Rackable Systems?

    Personally I have an I7 860 and 16 GB of ram, Ram seems to be the most limiting factor (but I do have one VM taking up 8 GB on average.) If you have a microcenter near you, you can get a Mobo + processor for fairly cheap. Hell ram is cheap too. In all honesty. I had a Rack mount server...

    1st time trying Server Virtualization.

    Personally run the WHS in the ESXI box, you'll have more resources to work with instead of just working with what's left (ESXI does a better job at reclaiming memory.

    1st time trying Server Virtualization.

    It all depends on the OS's, personally I'm limited to 16 GB, have 8 GB and I can run a few without a perfomance hit, it appears my biggest issue is HD usage, too much going on in one disk, and one Net connection.

    1st time trying Server Virtualization.

    Personally go with ESXI 5 it's free and can do everything you want. Using the Vsphere client you can basically have a KVM Remote to each machine. I believe it can do virtualization within it.

    Personally there are several ways to get the drives to show. ISCSI, Napp it, Make multiple disks on the data store (if there is a drive size limit). You can add the disks through Vmware (Create a data store, create more or a single disk and attach that to the virtual machine. Does that make...

    Question about some hardware.

    Since I'm getting in to this virtualization, and I am loving the idea of it, I've gotten the go ahead to build a server to run ESXI, and Honestly, I think I will just use my current setup and just buld myself a new PC. Here's why. I currently have a Core i7 860, with a P7P55D Mobo, Both...
