All 1950's support virtualization as far as I know; even the 1950 "I".
I have a PowerEdge 1950 that I would like to run Microsoft's Virtualization technology through Server 2008. It has an older motherboard that wont support MS' virtualization. Can I order a Dell Version III Motherboard and swap it out with the existing motherboard and make this work?
