I want to test HyperV in a lab and I don't have any spare Proliant's kicking
around. Can anyone recommend a model of HP desktop\workstation that runs
Hyper-V?

TIA,

I'm no HP rep, so I can't give you model numbers, but pretty much any
system that can run x64 Windows 2008 and has hardware virtualization
will run HyperV. You're safest with Intel though.

Essentially any 64-bit capable system that supports Intel VT or AMD-V
processors and can do Hardware DEP (Data Execution Prevention). Intel
refers to this as eXecute Disable (the XD bit) and AMD calls it No eXecute
(NS) and these options are set in the BIOS.

There is a GREAT freeware application called SecurAble that you can d/l, run
and get a quick answer on your target system:
