I’m in the middle of migrating my VMWare Server machine to lower-power hardware, after one of the disks in the old machine has been giving me lots of filesystem troubles lately.
Now, I installed an MSI AMD AM3 socket based board with a single dual core X2 240 (which has a TDP of 65W)on it, and 2GB DDR3 for starters (will be upgraded to 4GB or more afterwards), instead of the old Intel Pentium D930 which has a TDP of 95W. Added that I’m using the Western Digital Green Power drives now, that lowers the power requirements even further…
Now, when migrating the VMWare Server guest machines (a Windows SBS 2003, and 2 Linux machines), I noticed a weird thing: The Processor Usage window displayed a whopping 113740.00MHz, which would mean I overclocked the (standard 2.8GHz) 113,74GHz!!!!
I don’t believe it… do you?
See for yourself!
