Yes, I recently set up a VM server (FSC Primergy RX300S3 with 12 GB RAM
and 2 Quad Core CPUs 1.6 Ghz. At the moment I've got 7 VMs running (most
rather low usage), and overall the CPU utilisation is staying in the low
one digit range.

The BIOS had a setting for the virtualisation functions (disabled by
default) called Vanderpool-something which I enabled.

At the moment it looks as if I will run out of RAM much sooner than get
into any trouble because of CPU/hdd usage.

Though the server is running under Windows 2003 64bit.
