Just wanted some feedback on an idea to setup a Home VM server.

 

Reason: Have a few (3 old PCS - P4) and want to make some use of a a 'not that old' PC Q6600, XFX 750i, 4GB Corsair XMS2 and a few HDDs (various 80GB, 160GB)...

 

If i could setup the q6600 PC as a VM server what would be a good choice? EXSi, Xen.....which would operate best?

 

any suggestions

CPU: i7-960  3.2GHz on H50 | RAM: 12GB Corsair XMS3 1333MHz | MB: ASUS P6T Deluxe V2 | GPU: PowerColor RADEON HD 5770 | SSD: Samsung 840 120GB | HDD: WD 1.5TB Green Drive | PSU: OCZ StealthXStream 500W | Case: Cooler Master Elite 430

well do you want a type 1 hypervisor (is the operating system) or a type 2 hypervisor(within the operating system)?
