Hi to all,
this is my first time posting here as a new member and a newbie in virtualization hardware configuration and hope all of you can help me.
Scenario: I want to create a cheap computer home lab where 9 virtual machines can run at the same time 24x7.
Resources Available: Old Desktop computer with the ff specs:
- Processor - Athlon II x2 240(regor)(amd-v)
- Mobo - Gigabyte m68mt-s2(can enable virtualization)
- Chipset - GeForce 7025/nForce 630a
- Ram - 6GB DRR3 (4GB DDR3+2GB DDR3) kingston (Value Ram)
- PSU - Hec Raptor 500w
- HDD - Seagate 80GB, WD 500GB, TOSHIBA 500GB (ALL SATA)
Question:
- Can my existing hardware run Proxmox VE and also can accomodate 9 virtual machines running at the same time?
- Do I need to upgrade some parts?
- Do I need to overclock?
Servers to be Installed:
* Windows Server 2008 Standard(DNS,Active Directory,II7,GPO)
* LAMP
* SQUID|DANSGUARDIAN
* LDAP
* DHCP
DESKTOP
* WIN XP
* WIN 7
Budget: I'm really in a tight spot with this because I'm a graduating student and has no work, so I was wondering if it can be maximized with currently what I have. But if you have any suggestion or tip I am open with it.
Thanks, your help would be much appreciated.
