You reported running (quite successfully) Xen on VT platform.

I am sure many other people are also interested to have some
clarification.  So please answer to this list.

I am considering to purchase a new PC with all the gear needed for Xen
with Intel VT.  If we are not talking about Xeon processors, I need
Pentium 4 662 or 672.  In addition, according to Intel web pages
<URL:http://www.intel.com/products/processor_number/body_view_p4.htm>,
I also need a compatible BIOS.  Is this really so?  Basically, which
chipsets work with VT in 662 and 672?  I would like to use 955x or
925X as they both support ECC memory.

If you don't know the answer, please ask someone else as I can
imagagine asking normal support channels could produce useless,
inaccurate or plain incorrect answer.

Best regards,
