goal/test virtualbox AMD

 

since VDI supports OSX server install, thought it be nice

if we could use an AMD mobo (magny cours, 2x = 24 cores)

as a base, and load osx virtualbox .

 

thought, the base os could be opensuse or opensolaris

and run virtualbox there.

 

why ?

well native be nice too.

 

but running native on a new chipset might be hard,

while an linux kernel, be interfacing with virtualbox,

might actually be cleaner.

 

the other thought was, to have native ZFS file system for storage and backup.

this be on a dual cpu mobo, AMD G34

for starters 2x 8core = 16 core 2ghz 16gb ram, 128gb SSD raid0, 12TB ZFS raidz, nvidia gtx260

dual GBE (agregate link), in a 4U case, hotswap mobile racks, etc.

 

what you think ? any chance , vanilla in virtualbox on an AMD server
