So many of you offered opinions and experiences with AMD processors in
response to a comment I made that I am really intrigued now.
This may be a separate thread discussion but I use VirtualBox as my
virtualization software of choice. Good or bad I use it and want to continue
using it.
I appreciate that Intel has two extensions they list for their processors of
VT-x and VT-d. I much prefer processors that support these extensions compared
to others that do not.
Considering my current primary server is running a Pentium M 1.6 anything
today would be faster. I do not use any virtualization on this machine, but
with the need to upgrade it I would like to offload some of my virtualization
needs to this machine as well. I looked at various processors on the AMD site
but I cannot find more than a generic line that says XX processors has AMD
Virtualization... blah blah
What extensions should I look for in a AMD processor for decent
virtualization?
Does AMD have any budget processors that have these extensions?
Any recommendations?
I appreciate your input...
P.S. I would love to read a discussion about various virtualization softwares
and your uses, but in a different thread. I prefer VBox because it is free
(price) and has a better interface than libvirt or whatever Fedora prefers and
occasionally I will load up a VBox image in Windows where it works and acts
the same as my linux versions, once I change the network card.
