Virtualisation

Hi,

Amoungst other things, I am interested in using the Fit-pc3 as a virtualisation test bed.. basically to free up my main workstation from the need to run multiple vm's that don't really do a great deal most of the time (bind, puppet, etc).

I read that the CPU included in the fit-pc3 supports AMD virtualisation extensions, is this true?

If true, are they enabled (or enablable) in the bios?

Thanks

The G-T56N APU supports AMD VT-x.

While not strictly necessary for virtualization, it does enhance performance.

Hi,

Thanks, it is strictly necessary when the virtualisation is based on KVM :)

I guess that leads me to a side question, will it be a bios toggle to enable / disable? (some manufacturers disable it completely).

Hello

There is now such option in the BIOS.
