Hi Thanks for replay. My host is ready and now is time to build lab. I'm using Debian linux as host and VMware Worstation 10. I have small problems (can't change subnet mask in virtual netwok editor, subnet mask is grayout) but looks like they are related to linux host, because on Windows host (i have workstation 8 on Windows 7 host at work) I don't have this problem but this is problem for separate discussion .

Hi All I plan on setting up a nested ESXI 5.5 home lab on top of VMware Workstation 10. What I want to do is practice with ESXI 5.5, 2012 server and setup a few other VM's. What you thing about below configuration (I'd like to choose AMD because is much cheaper  ) AMD FX8-8320 Black Edition Vishera 8 Core AM3+ 3.5GHz 16MB 125W Gigabyte 78LMT-USB3 AM3+ AMD 760G DDR3 mATX Corsair 16GB (2x8GB) DDR3 1600Mhz CL11 XMS3 Performance Desktop Memory Kit I have already : 3x SSD 60GB OCZ Vertex 2 SATA2 1x SSD 128GB Samsung SATA2 In future I could expand memory to 32GB Should I consider mobo with SATA3 controller (all SSD dives are SATA3 now) or SATA2 should be enough for VCP 5.5 certification and Windows server 2012? I have goggled and looks like I should be able to run 64bit OS inside this nested lab. Please correct me if I'm not right. Thanks
