Are you able to assign cores, specific memory amounts, specific drive amounts etc to server instances? I can now obtain real dual quad core machines (8 cores) - motherboards with 16gb memory, processors, raid and (12) 750g hard drives, case and PS for about $7000. If I could run virtual machines then I could essentially have 4 dual core machines with 4g / machine for under 2K each, all in one single chassis. Best of all I could start with a single proc (quad cores) and 4 or 5 hard drives, and add more memory, another core, and more hard drives as needed. This is intriguing. John W.
