[Xen-users] AMD ATHLON 64 X2 5200+ AM2 and Supermicro H8SMA-2 A64/Opteron a good choice?

["Peter Peltonen" <peter.peltonen@xxxxxxxxx>]

I planning to build a xen server with 8GB of memory  (say 15 virtual
machines with 512 megs of memory) and a processor that has  hardware
support for Xen.

Should these work okay, any opinions?

- Processor: AMD ATHLON 64 X2 5200+ AM2

- Motherboard: Supermicro H8SMA-2 A64/Opteron

Will one dual core processor handle the load (the virtual machines
will be mostly dedicated web servers with not that heavy CPU load) or
should I consider multiple Opteron processors or something else?

Regards,
Peter
