Starting Hyper V - home network

Message:

I want to try hyper v in home-network. But most of the DIY retailers do not
know what is virtulisation, so i m worry whether these retailers will
provide me the correct hardware to work with hyper-v.

For a start, i am getting Intel Xeon X5460 Quad Core chip and i know it
supports Intel VT.

Can i say that if i want the above chip, and it is assume the motherboard
that is provided to fit the chip AUTO supports 64 bit architect ?

In another words, the chip is the main determinant for hyper-v to work at
least ?

The BIOS needs to support enabling virtualization and enableing the XD bit.
I think it's a fairly safe assumptin that a board that supports a 5460
should be able to do that. You may need to go into the BIOS and enable that,
but it should be easy to find.

I built a home-brew Hyper-V host. I started down the AMD route, mainly
because I could find a motherboard with integrated SATA-RAID and video.
Find a board that supports 64-bit Vista and the disk drivers will work for
Server 2008. And as long as the BIOS recognizes how to turn virtualization
on and off (assuming the chip supports it) you should be good.

Whole thing cost me about $700. Good Antec case and Power Supply. 2x 500GB
Sata-3 HDDs, 8GB RAM, AMD 500+ Athlon X2. And I have room and connectors
for three more HDDs when I outgrow what I have.

Go ahead and add a second NIC.
