VM ware will still run on the Q8200 in a software level just not at the hardware level.

Virtual PC may work better, it does for me.

OK... I'll bite.....

What is it that you do with Virtual PC or VM?

I can tell you that I enjoy "real" (

) BSODs rather than those that occur when a VM/ Virtual environment is running under Windows - nearly impossible to figure out b/c you (me) never know exactly what the hell is running !! VM seems to fool with RAM (of course), but to the point of disobeying the rules as set by the kernel; hence one reason that I see BSODs.

What can VM do for you that you can't do with a couple of systems side-by-side - like 1 Vista x64, 1 Windows 7 x86, and Windows 7 x64. Assuming they are wiped/ re-installed frequently so to begin on a level playing ground. . .

You can quickly test apps or code on different Os's without having to reboot, want to test a web page in I.E. 5,6,7,8 run different VM OS installs with each version.
In the server environment it's a whole different setup, you can run user profiles on a new virtual session on every log on without having to run Av or malware software in the user environment every long on is a like doing a system recovery documents get saved to drive linked in the profile as is the distributed software programs just linked to the user not actually installed on the users machine.
