I'm thinking buying the new AMD Phenom 9600 Core 2 Quad or Intel Kentfield Q6700 series processor and runs 8GB of RAM for to run Windows XP Pro and than load ESX 3.0.2 for lab purposes. I want to know if the existing VMware license server support this type of Quad cores processor? I don't want to spend the money and can't have it run ESX.
Specifications:
1. AMD Phenom 9600 Core 2 Quad Processor
2. 2GB x 4 (Corsair RAM) 8GB total
3. 4 (500 SATA 3.0 drives) 2TB
4. ASUS motherboard support Phenom 9600 Core 2 Quad Processor.
Can someone let me know if this specs work fine or any trouble at all? Any suggestions would be great!
