anyone using HMV domains?

I acquired a VT-capable Pentium D CPU, and am wondering if
this would
allow me to run Windows XP
in domU.  I noticed that M. Boyuer posted an attachment in a
message
to a list which contained the necessary additions to
xentools30.  I'm
simply wondering if I should bother wiping my amd64
installation to
try this out.

BTW, is it possible to give an HMV domain access to a PCI
video card?

Thanks,

Not without Xen-aware drivers on the Windows side, which
AFAIK only
exist in commercial Xen distributions for now (but last time
I looked
at this was around June).
