Motherboards and CPUs that support Server 2008 Hyper V

Hi folks. I'm trying to put together an inexpensive system that will
run server 2008 and be able to use HyperV. I know there are certain
things that the processor must be able to do and the motherboard as
well. I can't seem to find a list of motherboards or CPUs that will
perform this functionality. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

You just need a processor that has hardware virtualizing (AMD-V or Intel
VT), which most of them have. Only the very cheapest Intel chips do not
have it. I think the same applies for AMD.

I recently bought a HP ProLiant ML115 G5 Opteron Quad Core server for an
incredibly low price (£140), and it even came with the remote management
Lights-Out card for free (100% rebate).
