[ale] Which chip would you select?

[Barlow, Jim D]

Greg,

A really neat vendor to add to your list is Virtual Iron

One aspect of their approach to VT is to treat each node on an
infiniband network as a NUMA node in a single image scale up approach.

It is public info that Intel Capital is investing there.

Mike,

I'm really keen on Intel's VT.  I'm not sure if that is relevant to
you or not, but I suspect a year from now VT is going to be a big
deal.  A lot of R&D is going on around VT.
XEN/VMware/Parrallels/Microsoft/Apple all are working on taking
advantage of this new technology.  I believe that Apple has decided
that all of the Intel Macs will have VT built in.

Resources I've found to better know wha has VT support:
