that "ESX workstation ready" website

There was a link floating around somewhere with a link to machines that were ESX friendly, and I can't find it.

Anyone remember the link?

Here's a quote from hyper me about using Hyper v
If you are building a Hyper-V box you only need to be worried about a handful of things.

1. Hardware Assisted Virtualization (HAV) - Must have it on processor and mobo
2. Data Execution Prevention (Hardware based DEP), sometimes called Execute Disable Bit. Must be supported on Mobo/CPU
3. 64-bit processor
4. Stay away from add-on graphics cards. Don't ask me why, they just tend to screw with Server 2008 and Hyper-V.

Actually what I heard was that it's powerful graphics cards, the heavy duty gamer types.
