The new machine works great, but.....

Loading up ESXi onto the new machine was trivial, showing that VMware has done a very good job building the product. I was creating VM's within 30 minutes.

After some playing around and reading, I wondered if I could create a ESXi inside of ESXi to fully test the advanced features (VMotion, DRS, etc.). Of course I must have missed a meeting, because the box I have has a processor that does not have the Intel VT feature, which means, even though ESXi (64 bit) does install, I cannot load any 64 bit applications on it, including ESXi.

This is an issue, but I moved on configuring everything I could.
