These are 8-core Nehalem systems with 23 GB of RAM, running amd64/HVM. Don't know if this is useful to anyone here, but if anyone's looking for a place to play with 64-bit HVM, it's out there. -- Colin Percival Security Officer, FreeBSD | freebsd.org | The power to serve Founder / author, Tarsnap | tarsnap.com | Online backups for the truly paranoid
