PowerEdge 1850 and VSphere

[videodrone83]

I found a great deal on 2x PowerEdge 1850's for 300 bucks but was wondering if anyone has tested these to work with VSphere, ive read the HCL list and i know it is possible but I am trying to make sure I can run 64 bit o/s's and be able to do HA (Vmotion) as well

this is the link to the cpu's

They need to have VT, which the noconas don't have IIRC. Easy way to remember is anything before LGA 771 doesn't have VT, well and the Socket M Sossamans have it.

yeah, no virtualization support for the 1850. I think the 1950 is the first to have it.
