Well, I finally succumbed to the lure of buying an ML110 G5 for my home server test lab. just added RAM memory, which is currently 2 x 2GB DDR2 800 DIMM’s.

Thank you to the google, There have been some great conversations between people on this blog relaying their experiences (good and bad) on the running version of VMware ESX 6 on their ML110.
