I have a single Core 2 Quad Xeon e5420, but my motherboard has a socket 
for a second Xeon which I'll be getting soon.
But so far all I've tried is running on DomU at a time.  I have only 
been running HVM DomUs - WinXP SP3 and BeOS 5 Pro.
I had a problem with the GPLPV drivers on WinXP, but will be giving them 
another try soon.
BeOS 5 Pro is *absurdly* slow.  This is very weird because on native 
hardware, it is a particularly fast and efficient operating system.  But 
in a Xen DomU, it takes over twenty minutes to boot, and clicking a menu 
takes a couple minutes for the menu to appear.
I'd like to track down what the performance problems are, but I really 
don't know where to start.
My hope is to use Xen to run all the target operating systems for a 
cross-platform audio program I'm writing.  I'd like to be able to run 
them all simultaneously sometimes, but I'm not having much luck so far.
