I had thought about it, but from what I understand that limits the other VMs to Solaris. I have a few different administrators that are going to be running their own OSes (freebsd, linux, possibly windows), as well as some development ones (like jnode). From what I was able to find, that means that I need to run Xen with the newer AMD-V featureset; thus the reason for the new board and cpus.

Have you considered using Zones (N1 Grid Containers) instead of xen? - Alexander Kolbasov
