I have a 2000 server running Exchange and Terminal Services on a P3-based computer with SCSI drives and 2 gig of RAM. There are no performance issues at all with the system currently. &nbsp;I would like to virtualize it so that is running as a virtual session under 2008 64 bit version with HyperV and the latest greatest hardware platform and 8 gig of RAM. On paper the specs of the new hardware system - quadcore 2.83 MhZ and Raptor drives - are approximately 3 or 4 times as powerful as the old system so there would be a dramatic performance improvement if I ran the old system &nbsp;native &nbsp; on the new hardware. What kind of performance hit would I take virtualizing it? &nbsp;As long as it's as fast after virtualization as the old system that's fine. &nbsp;Again, there is no need at all for performance improvement.

Windows OS

Microsoft Virtual Server was a virtualization solution that facilitated the creation of virtual machines on the Windows XP, Windows Vista and Windows Server 2003 operating systems. Virtual machines are created and managed through a web-based interface that relies on Internet Information Services (IIS) or through a Windows client application tool called VMRCplus. Features included Linux guest operating system support, Virtual Disk Precompactor, symmetric multiprocessing (SMP), x64 host operating system support, the ability to mount virtual hard drives on the host machine and additional operating systems support, including Windows Vista, and a volume shadow copy writer.
