VT Enabled!


In the end of the last year, I wrote a short article for a managine.

In those days, there seemed to be some changes of their editorial plan
and my article didn't appear.
But, on the last Friday, I got a notification from the editor and
they seemed to have re-used my draft. Thus, I got some money and upgraded my PC. :)


Till now, my PC was a dual PentiumIII system using Tyan Tiger 230. It was a really good motherboard but nowadays completely outdated . No NIC, no sound, no USB etc. Thus, I had to install many PCI cards as you can see in the right side photo.





This time, I wanted to play with Xen and needed a VT enabled machine. As for highend graphics cards or up-to-date CPU, I don't need them and
all I need is a cheap and stable system.

So, my choice was like the following:
PentiumD 930
Gigabyte GA81945G Pro
DDR2-667 1GB (Transcend) x 2

As all of GbE, USB, IEEE and sound are on-board, now inside of the case is very simplified. :)


Here is a picture of BIOS setup screen. VT Enabled!

To be continued. :)
