David, I'm currently mobile and unable to track down the HCL for ESX/i myself - thus my mentioning them to the original poster with what I could remember off the top of my head about supported machines. If that was an insufficient response then the OP is more than welcome to ignore it. On the other hand, the OP could always say, "oh, ESXi HCL, I wonder..." and google 'vmware esxi hardware compatibility'.
