I posted the VM testing results on the whitebox but put the brakes on the project 3/4 of the way through because I want to retest using a piece of server class hardware. Although alot of people would like to know how well virtualization runs on a whitebox it was evident without even finising testing that using a setup running Windows XP 64 bit and VMware would yeild the best results. Maybe ESXi would be better but unless your whitebox is magically on the infamous HCL you will be SOL.

I did post up everything I came up with and hopefully it wont be long before this article is followed up by a full battery of testing on a Dell T300 which is a very affordable and fully supported server by both VMware and Microsoft.
