I'm using Intel G45ID motherboards for 8 servers in a lab at work. Checp, supports full virt (KVM) as well as Xen (we primarily use RHEL at work, not Fedora), they seem to be *very* fast, and they were a snap to set up. http://www.intel.com/products/desktop/motherboards/DG45ID/DG45ID-overview.htm We just happen to be running Intel E8500 (dual core, 3.16GHz) processors, but quad core are available for this board. We're running 8GB memory on each system. The lab is *very* popular on my team, the systems are quite snappy. Total cost for each system, including a 2U case and power supply as well as an extra GB NIC for bonding was around $800USD. Very affordable.

I can promise you will get lots of opinions, I would build a similar system with an Intel i7 CPU (920), ASUS motherboard with dual NIC, 12GB RAM, lots of case fans and a 500w or better power supply. I will let you pick your own hypervisor. -- Bill Davidsen "We have more to fear from the bungling of the incompetent than from the machinations of the wicked." - from Slashdot -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@redhat.com To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines

People, Suggestions on motherboards etc for running 2-4 virtual machines for general purpose uses (suppliers in Australia would be good!).
