Hi experts I have a question regarding vmware's esxi program. I have to replace two XP Pro computers at a client site and instead of getting two physical machines I am thinking of getting a 1U Dell R200 server and I was wondering if esxi would be supported on the R200 running the following processor: Intel® Celeron® Processor 430 at 1.8GHz, 512K Cache, 800MHz FSB<br />
<br />
There is no RAID adapter since redundancy is not required since there is no data. Also is it really easy to install Esxi on the server then install two instances of Windows XP Pro on the server and will this cpu with 4 gb of ram be enough to handle very very light loads? Basically all that will be running is a transaction server that get used from offsite locations maybe 5-10 times a day. <br />
<br />
Please let me know if you foresee any issues and as always your answers are appreciated.

The Microsoft Server topic includes all of the legacy versions of the operating system, including the Windows NT 3.1, NT 3.5, NT 4.0 and Windows 2000 and Windows Home Server versions.

VMware, a software company founded in 1998,  was one of the first commercially successful companies to offer x86 virtualization. The storage company EMC purchased VMware in 1994. Dell Technologies acquired EMC in 2016. VMware’s parent company is now Dell Technologies.

VMware has many software products that run on desktops, Microsoft Windows, Linux, and macOS, which allows the virtualizing of the x86 architecture.  Its enterprise software hypervisor for servers, VMware vSphere Hypervisor (ESXi), is a bare-metal hypervisor that runs directly on the server hardware and does not require an additional underlying operating system.

Microsoft Windows XP is the sixth release of the NT series of operating systems, and was the first to be marketed in a variety of editions: XP Home and XP Professional, designed for business and power users. The advanced features in XP Professional are generally disabled in Home Edition, but are there and can be activated. There were two 64-bit editions, an embedded edition and a tablet edition.
