AMD CPU Doc says "AMD Virtualization can enable client computers to seamlessly support multiple operating environments..." What kind of setup can take advantage of this feature: e.g. Host XP with multiple VM Server Ware quests?
 
AMD-V support is a CPU ISA, iirc. If it's enabled in the BIOS, and your CPU model supports it, and you have software that can use CPU assisted virtualization, then yes you can take advantage of it.
 
AMD virtualization extensions really are required for supporting different platforms/bits from the host -- for example: running win32 as a guest under linux64.

If you are going to do something like run 64bit guests under 64-bit hosts on linux, you can use paravirtualization to do this without virtualization extensions.
 
can someone recommend inexpensive but reliable "hypervisor" software that can be installed on the bare metal (aka type1) home desktop, like AMD Phenom II based and still be usable to run multiple quest OSes (Windows/Linux)?
