Intel Motherboards (or other) that support Hyper V in Server 2008

Hi folks. I'm trying to put together an inexpensive system that will
run server 2008 and be able to use HyperV. I know there are certain
things that the processor must be able to do and the motherboard as
well. I can't seem to find a list of motherboards or CPUs that will
perform this functionality. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

You are a little light on details of what HW/SW you want to
implement.

Start with "Intel Virtualization Technology (Intel VT)" at:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X86_vir....28Intel_VT.29

Then run searches on catchphrases like "Intel VT" and look for
them in descriptions of cpu's, boards you might want to consider.

Hi there. I'm not really concerned about what type of hardware for
the CPU or the mobo. Just omething that will get the job done as far
as virtualization and can support a good amount of ram. Nothing
fancy. Does the board really matter? I still can't get a definitive
answer on that. Thanks.

Then you may well be barking up the wrong tree.

You wanna run Server08 and Hyper-V. Eh?

From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyper-V...Specifications

System requirements / Specifications:
An x64-based processor running an x64 version of Windows Server 2008 Standard,
Windows Server 2008 Enterprise or Windows Server 2008 Datacenter.

Hardware-assisted virtualization. This is available in processors that include
a virtualization option; specifically, Intel VT or AMD Virtualization (AMD-V,
formerly code-named "Pacifica").

Here's a definitive answer: "The Board ALWAYS Counts!".

What in the world are you trying to do? Users, Applications, etc???
