Yeah and even with 775 adaptors there is no EPT version for 775 socket
either :-(  Wondering if there was an Opteron with RVI or NPT for the
771 or 775 sockets but appears not.

So I guess I'm stuck unless I can change the motherboard on the Dell
RS900 to one that supports some processor with EPT.

Thanks!
