2011-12-04 Thread Matt Connolly
I'm running a Windows 7 guest under qemu-kvm on OI 151 and have a few problems: 1. clock drift - this seems really bad, losing about 30 minutes in an hour. 2. very slow networking from the guest to the rest of the network. My script for starting the vm is like this: VNIC=vnic2 MAC=$(dladm show-v

The AMD FX 8150 (8 core) in combination with a ASUS Crasshair V (has Intel networkinterface) might be interesting for you. The 8 GB unbuffered ddr3 dimms are hard to get and expensive. Maybe start with 16 GB en upgrade later? Ivar Robin Axelsson schreef: If you are considering AMD hardware, mos

Wish I could help you, but I don't even know if our servers in our datacenters have started to receive any Sandy Bridge-based Xeons. Best suggestion would be to check Tyan and Intel server boards. On Sun, Dec 4, 2011 at 18:15, Matt Connolly wrote: > On 05/12/2011, at 6:41 AM, Geoff Flarity wrote

If you are considering AMD hardware, most 990FX motherboards support both ECC and up to 32GB of memory. They also have support for IOMMU. I can confirm that for example the Gigabyte GA-990FXA-UD7 supports all of the above. I can also recall that I have seen screenshots of ECC options in one of
