Yes - found it soewhere mentioned. Also Joseph Mocker gave the right

LOL - yes.

BTW: Currently the X4600M2 seem to be a very bad choice for hosting
win2003 or win2008 VMs. Without PV driver awefully slow, with PV driver
unusable after reboot. On the other hand, after installing all recent
updates wrt. win and than the PV driver, they seem to run pretty stable
and fast on IntelServers (5000PAL + 2xE5440 in my case) ...
