I think you have the answser, afaik, you can not run 64bit guests without vt support. So, will 32 bit guests be enough for your use? VT-x/AMD-v cpus are the way to go. It was a substantial increase in performance when I upgraded. I know AMD advertises multiple cores for virtualization. -- Peace, Greg -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
