compatibility

Hi,

Is compatibility for Hyper-V concerning modern Intel-Mainboards a "tricky"
thing?

I would like to buy the Intel board S3210SHLC:

Intel® Server Chassis SC5299UP
Multi-Core Intel® Xeon® Processor 3200 and 3000 series
Intel® Core™2 Quad desktop processors
Intel® Core™2 Duo desktop processors
1 CPU Socket
800/1066/1333 MHz
Intel® 3210 Server Chipset
5 PCI Busses
5 Total Slots
One PCI Express* x 8
One PCI Express* x 8
One PCI Express* x 4
Two PCI 32-bit/33 MHz
Dual memory channel, four DIMM slots for DDR2
667/800 MHz
Unbuffered ECC/non-ECC DIMMs (8 GB max)
Integrated ATA: N/A
Six SATA ports at 3.0 Gb/s
Two Intel ® Gigabit Ethernet connections
Integrated Graphics with 32 MB memory
Intel® System Management Software 2.0
RAID 0,1,5,10

Does the board support Hyper-V or do I need more informations to check out
before ordering?

I'd like to combine the above hardware with Xeon X3220 2.4GHZ Socket: 775/
Kentsfield/Cache: 8192 KB/

Obviously this is for a small virtualization solution.

Thanks for your feedback.

Patrick

The requirements are pretty straight-forward, but require you to actually
verify them first. The CPU must support the execute disable bit (Intel XD),
and you need to actually turn that on in the BIOS. And the CPU must support
Intel Virtualization Technologies (Intel VT). Again, you'll need to make
sure the BIOS has that enabled as well. To verify that a particular CPU has
what you need, use the Intel Product Comparison Chart. For Xeon processors,
you'll find that at: http://compare.intel.com/pcc/default.aspx?familyID=5.

To check if the Bios supports Hyper-V :
