You know, I've been hearing about the new virtualization technology that's been in Core Duo notebooks for a while now, and now I see that it's a part of the new Conroe-based Core 2 Duos. So, I'm just curious if anyone with one of these processors and a generous amount of RAM has decided to fire up VMWare and give it a try?

If so, is it really as good as everyone hoped? Is running Linux on top of Windows buttery smooth or vicey-versa? Please enlighten me :).
 
Virtualization will eventually be the way to go for most servers, there will probably be a big demand for server consolidation over the next few years as hardware development becomes much faster. Just watch :)

I've run VMware Workstation on a P4 2.6C with 2 gigs of ram and it was usable, assuming you turn off USB and Audio on the Virtual machines, so you can run a lot more at the same time. If it works well on this older hardware, I could tell you that on dual cores it will be much more efficient.
 
VMware isn't taking advantage of it yet, atleast from what I've seen. The only thing I've seen take advantage of the VT technology is Virtual Server 2005 R2 SP1 beta, it boots alot quicker and installs windows quicker but it doesn't help actual performance inside a running session.
