CPU: Hyper-V requires specific processor enhancements from either Intel or AMD. Intel VT is integral to the Intel vPro range.
64 bits environment, Virtualization is a prime candidate for the expanded memory and processing facilities that 64-bit platforms offer. To ensure these expanded facilities are available, Hyper-V only runs on x64-bit editions of Windows Server 2008.
Approved hardware, Hyper-V requires hardware that is on the Windows server catalog of tested hardware. Microsoft hardware approval is particularly important in Hyper-V because the Windows Hypervisor layer interfaces directly between the hardware and the parent and child partitions. Rigorous testing of third party device drivers also helps to enhance parent partition stability. Although Hyper-V is running fine on my laptop this device isn’t the most suitable candidate for the server virtualization role.
Physical Memory on the host computer is the main limiting factor that sets the number of virtual computers that can run simultaneously. The virtual computers share this physical memory with the parent partition. Memory requirements are typically 512MB for the parent partition, plus the allocated memory for each child partition and a further 32MB overhead for each child partition. Therefore, a child partition that has 256MB allocated virtual RAM requires a host that has at least (512+(256+32)) = 800MB
