ESXi 4 and Core i7

[saadis01]

Hi, I couldn't find the HCL for ESXI 4 and Core i7 (not Intel Xeon based on Core i7). Is there one? If anyone has ESXi 4 running on i7 please list your configuration.

Thanks!

thanks but can you list the configuration you have such as motherboard, network card, video card, etc.

Sure, here are the specs:

ASUS RADEON HD3450 256MB GDDR2 PCI-E VGA/DVI/HDMI

ASUS RAMPAGE II GENE X58 S-1366 MATX

INTEL CORE I7 920 2.66GHZ 8MB S-1366

INTEL GIGABIT NIC PCI WB

OCZ DDR3 PLATINUM XTC 6GB PC3-10666 (3X2GB)

OCZ 2.5# SUMMIT SERIES 60GB SATA/300 SSD MLC

The built in nic on the MB is not working with ESXi, that is why the extra Intel Gigabit PCI NIC.

I also have an extra disk for templates and iso's, but run most of the VM:s from the SSD.

Best regards,
