Hi GB,

  "enter the BIOS Settings for the Processor and set C1E to disabled."

I would highly recommend disabling C1E in the BIOS - I have found this to increase performance significantly in both virtual and physical systems. As an example of the difference it made, some calculations which took ~23 seconds to compute with C1E enabled only took 4 seconds to computer with C1E disabled.

I also found that in some cases I would see PSOD on R815's (with BIOS ver 3.0.4) even when the host has no VM's ... I got Dell in to replace motherboards on 3x hosts and this made no difference ... I'm back on BIOS version 2.9.0 and have not had the issue again. My support request with both Dell and VMware remains open until this is fixed.

Cheers,

Jon
