I've decided to recertify my MCSE with the latest Microsoft Technologies. As I've been studying for the Windows 7 exam I've been reading more on Microsoft's Hyper-V 2008 R2 Server and was interested in playing around with it. Turns out there are some strict CPU and BIOS requirements for running it properly, though. The "server" has to support certain hardware Intel and AMD virtualization technologies. If you're like me and only have old hardware in your personal graveyard building a suitable test platform for Hyper-V Server might not be so easy. I found an outstanding web page to help me, though:
VT-x Capabilities for Intel Processors
AMD Download to test your processor
Haven't found a page from AMD like the Intel one yet. If I see one in the future I'll mention it, though. Sadly nothing in my computer graveyard makes the grade, but maybe the link will help someone else trying to do the same thing. :-)
