ESXi i3-3220

[Neme]

Is an i3-3220 suitable to run ESXi on?

Looking to virtualise a pfsense and a flexraid based file server (2 seperate guests). And maybe some other lowish powered stuff in the future.

Looking to put together something relatively low budget and low power based on the following:

ASUS P8H77-I
I3-3220
Corsair CX430
Crucial M4
Patriot 2x8 GB

Thanks for any thoughts.

Yes it does support VT-x with extended tables

You do of course need to meet the other specs, I'll drop a link:

What about an FX6300 or Phenom II X6 1045T?? Both support full virtualisation AFAIK.

Think I'd rather run an FX6300.

I'll give it a look, thanks
