Re: [Xen-users] Re: searching for cheap HVM (Intel/Amd) hardware

[Mark Williamson <mark.williamson@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Both my development machine and my test box are Dell Dimensions (of different 
generations) from Dell's online direct outlet.  I believe they're refurbished 
models.  The newer one I bought has an AMD-V processor, the older one is 
pre-HVM.

I've been pleased with Dell hardware, although the OEM copy of Windows you get 
is a bit of a pain to use!

Cheers,
Mark
