Dear Aron E., This Tablet-PC computer is meant to be used mostly by casual users and not power users. I am not sure what type of jobs will you require this computer to perform, but in terms of running 2 virtual machines comfortably, I believe this may not be a computer for you. The following is a summary of the hardware specs of this computer: CPU Type: 4th generation Intel Core i3-4020Y Processor @ 1.5GHz RAM: 4GB, but upgradable to 8GB (1 DIMM) The following is the system requirements for VMWare Workstation 10: -64-bit x86 Intel Core Solo Processor or equivalent, AMD Athlon 64 FX Dual Core Processor or equivalent -1.3GHz or faster core speed -2GB RAM minimum/ 4GB RAM recommended ** Host operating systems* (32-bit & 64-bit): ** -Windows 8 -Windows 7 -Windows Vista -Windows XP SP3 -Windows Server 2012 -Windows Server 2008 -Windows Server 2003 Standard -Windows XP Home Edition with SP2 -Ubuntu 8.04 and above -Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 and above -CentOS 5.0 and above -Oracle Linux 5.0 and above -openSUSE 10.2 and above -SUSE Linux 10 and above ** For Windows 7 Aero graphics support in a virtual machine ** -3GB RAM (Host PC) -Intel Dual Core, 2.2GHz and above or AMD Athlon 4200+ and above -NVIDIA GeForce 9900GT and above or ATI Radeon HD 2600 and above Here are some helpful links provided by the following in regards to system requirements to support VMWare Workstation 10 and the HP Split x2 13's hardware specs: VMWare Workstation 10 system requirements - http://www.vmware.com/products/workstation/faqs.html HP Split x2 13 Product Specs - http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?cc=us&lc=en&docname=c04104074 Good luck and happy shopping!

I haven't triedBut I do know that if you use vmware you can use a virtual machine of mac or Linux.If I were you I would not try to install Linux directly on the laptop.For one thing if you did you would have to find all of the drivers for the Alienware and that takes a lot of time to do. You could also ruin the machine in the long run.Just use a virtual machine

I've installed it.I used the esxi cuatomized by hp. Think it's not officially supported but works ok. No hardware passthrough unless you change the cpu though. Hope this helps. Pls correct me if i'm wrong.

If you are running Windows virtually and that VM meets minimum specs I don't see why it wouldn't run. Keep it mind if the VM doesn't connect to internet at all, you will want to get the disc version.

yes it does. worked great for me on windows 8/8.1 and windows 2012 server where I host VMS. make sure to turn off power saving lop or windows turns them off, oops.

It doesn't. You need to boot into windows to use the programming software. It didn't work for me under VMWare.

What's the chipset of the card? According to this page from VMware, your card may not be supported out-of-the-box on a clean install. Mine is 82571EB which is deprecated. Link: http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd;=displayKC&externalId;=2056935

Sorry about that ! You could run install but it will only register on one computer. They nail you over $200.0 for a two computer software.

I do not use Win 8 as of yet. From what I have heard there is a compatibility issue trying to run it on Win 8. However you could download and install "VMWARE player" and if you have a copy of Winxp, you can install it after installing VMWARE. It is a pretty cool program. I have tested it out and was quite impressed by it. You may have to buy the program though once your trial period ends.

I would say your best bet would be to contact Apple, Intel or ATI about gpu compatibility with your server/workstation Intel Xeon CPU's. If it were me I would look into a good workstation GPU this is a consumer GPU. It may fit your needs and might work but, a workstation isn't what it's designed for.

Sure, but if you already have this machine, you might trying setting up a Win8 VM on it. That would allow you to keep your installation reasonably virgin, and minimize the risks of changing the OS and bungling it all up.

don't know about esxi. however we run Oracle's VM and its not an issue on either side (host/guest). and generally speaking if the underlying OS recognizes this card the VM should as well (once again on both sides). Personally I'd give this card a shot as its one of the few cards that runs on just about every OS one could think of. hope this helps..

I works for me using VMware fusion. I also read that it works great using Boot Camp to run windows natively. Hope this helps!

I haven't tried any server virtualization OS on the G2020T. There is not Hyper-Threading and I didn't see anything about ESXi support in the technical materials except VT-x.

The card certainly supports it. I've purchased several of them but use them in VMware servers, not desktops. It's HP, so there's a good chance that it will work fine; their products are usually compatible with mainstream devices and OSs.

Yes, it does. I virtualized all workstatios in my office, all of them run Win7 64bit Pro for about a year with NComputing L300 as a thin client instead of actual computers.
