Re: How to enable nested paging on Virtualbox
Nested paging is indeed only available for K10 (Phenom) for AMD cpus (and i7 for Intel cpus).

Hi ,

I am new to Drupal CMS. Would appreciate if some one could recommend what parameters one has to consider while doing Hardware Sizing for Drupal. for instance: No of concurrent users, No of transactions, No of uploads/downloads per second etc.

On what hardware has Drupal been benchmarked.

Would appreciate if someone can provide official guidelines on the hardware required.

Thanks
