Hi, All;

If you want check if your OS guest supports Hot-Plug in ESX (or other VMware products). Check at:
http://www.vmware.com/resources/compatibility/search.php?deviceCategory=software

For example: RHEL 6.1 supports Hot-Plug of vCPU and vMem (Hot Add Memory and Hot Add vCPU)

The article is looking very good i must say.

The only thing that is bothering me is the wrong info about X86 and X64

X86 is saying something abou the Intell architecture and doesn’t say anything about 32 or 64 bit. X86 cis and will remain the architecture layout.

IA64 was the 1st new architecture of Intell which had a BIT comment in the name: Itanium Archtecture 64 (bit)
