    Looking for Tmobile smartphone for monthly4g.

    Sorry, I've never had that happen to me - I always had to buy one from the store. I was in there two months ago getting a SIM for a friend coming from overseas, very last minute, and it was $10. You'd have to go ask them. They might be different if you sign up right then and there.

    Looking for Tmobile smartphone for monthly4g.

    Simple. I put unlocked phones on T-Mobile all the time: T-Mobile.com -> Monthly Plans -> SIM Card http://prepaid-phones.t-mobile.com/prepaid-phone/T-Mobile-Prepaid-SIM-Activation-Kit $4.99 Or, cheaper from eBay/Amazon, if you want to deal with those folks.

    Replacing 2008 desktop. Suggestions?

    VT-d is a special feature used by hypervisors like ESXi or Xen. If you need it, you're usually well aware of that. VirtualBox, Virtual PC and VMware Workstation all take advantage of Vt-x - they couldn't use VT-d even if it was available. Annoyingly, just because you're motherboard and CPU...

    802.11a phone? Networking?

    I'd be tempted to just add a super cheap b/g router with a crossover cable into the setup. I did something similar recently to relieve my problem of reconfiguring everything.

    Sandy Bridge Boards -- Which ones have vt-d?

    I was under the same assumption while checking out that motherboard for puchase, until I saw their CPU support list, which shows pretty much every 1155 CPU Intel makes: http://www.asus.com/Motherboards/Intel_Socket_1155/P8B_WS/#CPUS

    Sandy Bridge Boards -- Which ones have vt-d?

    A single review mentions this board has VT-d capability, but I haven't found anything to substantiate that: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813138319 Otherwise, an Asus P8B WS would do (sans overclock-ability), as it definitely has it...

    IPMI for Server Recommendation

    Edit: Sorry, didn't read the thread closely enough - this would be an expensive route or, otherwise, unhelpful. Look at the AMT 7/Q67 chipset: Intel Active Management Technology - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia@@AMEPARAM@@/wiki/File:Intel_AMT_2.0_web_page_-_memory.jpg"...

    How come no IPMI on consumer boards?

    Look at the Q67 based motherboards with vPro/AMT. However, as corporate/OEM directed sales, they won't have much in the way of enthusiast options.

    X9SCM-F VGA Pass-through or Quadro Pass-through?

    Please keep us informed as I'm hoping to follow a similar path in a few months. Thanks.

    Where to put pagefile?

    Interesting point of view. Of course, all my Linux and Solaris installs (with extremely large amounts of RAM) all have virtual memory provisioned. I guess they just copy Windows? That, or there is some value to it, wether or not one understands or agrees.

    1 x HDMI Or am I missing something?

    Clarification about type 1 hypervisors and local storage

    J-Will, Thanks for the good responses. So, based on your response ESXi would basically act as a really fancy VMware Workstation - just closer to the bare metal? That's what I'm going for. These are not mission critical VMs - not even production, really. They will mainly be running an IDE...

    Clarification about type 1 hypervisors and local storage

    Greetings. Long time browser, first time poster. I'm hoping the smart group here can help clarify some things for me per my specific setup. My previous virtual computing experience resolves around two areas, mostly. First, an administrator on an all-Sun lab running multiple Zones on T2/T5...
