make 64 Bit & Virtualisation support - Bios Upgarde?
Hello,
We are in process to virtualise our environment using vmware ESX.
i have a PE2850 that might neither support 64 bit architecture nor Virtualization technology. - no filed in BIOS...
What can i do to have that server support both technologies?
1- upgrade BIOS -
server's version is now A04 and i read that version A07 is the latest.
How can we now the features that a bios version offers?
2 - change server processor/ motherboard?
Thx BD

If you don't see the option, chances are your CPU doesn't have VT support -- in which case you would need a new CPU. You can't upgrade/change the mainboard.
