Question: I know this might be a long shot but oh what the heck If all I have was AMD 8320 or 8350 on a 990FX motherboard, would it be very difficult to setup OS X (any flavor) with unRAID ?? I'd like to make an OS X VM with VGA passthrough on my Unraid I notice the Community Spreadsheet did have successful case of VGA passthrough for 990FX setup but not sure about OS X. Is it an worth the trouble to go through? or is it just futile mixing AMD CPU and OS X in the beginning? Thanks!

Thanks for the response guys. Following up with that, would it be possible to use 2 SSDs as OS drives and SSD cache? (in a 2 concurrent users 1 computer environment - and not RAID0). Let me to explains visually SSD1: [120GB or 240GB SSD] ____contains ConcurrentUser1 boot VM with Win7/OSes and most frequently used applications installed ____64GB of User2's SSD2 for cache for other apps installed on the HDD that might get frequently used SSD2: [120GB or 240GB SSD] ____contains ConcurrentUser2 boot VM with Win7/OSes and most frequently used applications installed ____64GB of User1's SSD1 for cache for other apps installed on the HDD that might get frequently used HDD: ____Shared slow 7200RPM hard drive for everything else Motherboard would be something that support Intel Smart Response Tech. Or even perhaps the ASUS Sabertooth X79 which can surpass the 64GB cache limitation. Any advice? Would this work at all doing cross-caching? would it improve performance at all if you separate OS drive and cache drive on separate SSD?

sorry for the noob question. But is it possible to share CPU and memory for the 2 users using unRaid or KVM virtualization??? Say my wife and i share the same computer and most of the time we split in the middle half of the vCPU half of the RAM available. But sometimes i want to use 90% of available cpu and ram power for heavy duty application while shes watching TV Is it possible to set up so that the cpu and ram are shared in a pool for the 2 sepearate VMs?(seprate ssd and gpu)? How will the performance be affected? My wife and I probably won't play intensive game but it's awesome that Virtual Desktop seems to be performance so well with small loss in performance comparing to baremetal! This is exciting ~Thanks guys
