I'm installing VMware Server 1.03-44356 on my Windows Home Edition XP Centrino Duo laptop, using the Complete option. I'm getting a message saying that I don't have Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS) installed, so I can't have the VMware Management Interface, which needs IIS.

Do I need the VMware Management Interface? Or do I need to install and configure IIS? :confused:

I hope that your not planning to use 64bit linux on that... I dont think that it supports 64bit...

Oh well, if it doesn't work I can always go back to the Console clients. I don't think it'll do any harm to try.

Yonah
Yonah was the code name for Intel's first generation of 65 nm process mobile microprocessors, based on the Banias/Dothan Pentium M microarchitecture, incorporating LaGrande security technology. SIMD performance has been improved through the addition of SSE3 instructions and improvements to SSE and SSE2 implementations, while integer performance decreased slightly due to higher latency cache. Additionally, Yonah includes support for the NX bit.

Intel Core Duo is the world's first low-power (less than 25 watts) Dual Core microprocessor, with the previous low being AMD's Opteron 260 and 860 HE at 55 watts. Core Duo was released on 5 January 2006, with the other components of the Napa platform. It was the first Intel processor to be used in Apple Macintosh products (although the Apple Developer Transition Kit machines, non-production units distributed to some developers, used Pentium 4 processors).[1]

Contrary to early reports, the Intel Core Duo supports Intel VT x86 virtualization technology, except in the T2300E model and proprietary T2050/T2150/T2250 mounted by OEMs (cf. the Intel Centrino Duo Mobile Technology Performance Brief and Intel's Processor Number Feature Table). The Intel Pentium Dual Core processors may or may not have this feature. However, it seems some vendors, like HP, have chosen to disable this feature,[2][3] with others making it available through a BIOS option.[citation needed]

Intel 64 (Intel's x86-64 implementation) is not supported by Yonah. However, Intel 64 support is integrated in Yonah's successor, the mobile version of Core 2, code-named Merom.

Believe me I tried it before researching annoyed me a little :)

Intel T2400 @ 1.83Ghz, with 1Gb RAM
I've got a laptop with the same spec. I run WinSMP on it and I manage to get around 800 PPD, even on the slow WUs.

You definitely won't be able to install the Linux SMP client on it for real or in a VM becasue it's not a 64-bit processor. I get a lot better credit on WinSMP than I used to get on 2x standard clients on Windows or Linux.

I didn't get very far with the VWware server anyway, so I'll try your suggestion and give WinSMP a try.

EDIT: WinSMP is up and running on my laptop. Only 4 day deadline! :eek: If I don't make the deadlines, I'll go back to the standard clients.

Thanks for the help, guys! :)
