2850's are "NOT" 64 bit. The motherboard does not support the extensions.

They were purchased as a package with the VMware software, should not be any issue with supporting 64bit.

It needs to have virtualization support for installing a 64bit guest on ESX. From: TechInfo [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, August 22, 2008 10:31 AM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: Exchange 07 on VMware Just thought I'd stir up the pot on the Exchange on VMware discussion again. One of my projects for this year is to migrate to Exchange 07 from 03. We currently have about 600 mailboxes residing on a single server, single site. I purchased a Dell 2850 for this earlier this year. I also installed VMWare ESX 3.5 earlier this year with a couple of Dell 2850's. Now I'm thinking about using the server I have for Exchange, making it another VMware server and then installing Exchange 07 on VMware. I'm just looking for your thoughts (wisdom) from those that have been using it that way on how it is working out. Also, that way would it make sense to break out a separate vm for hub transport? We also have a BES server that I could put on the same vnic to limit that traffic. We do have an enterprise agreement with Microsoft as I know that is always brought up regarding support.
