Hardware is 2 x Dual Core AMD Opteron(tm) Processor 280.
Hypervisor, dom0 and domU are all 32 bit, debian etch with all security 
updates installed:
linux-image-2.6.18-5-xen-686: 2.6.18.dfsg.1-17
xen-hypervisor-3.0.3-1-i386-pae: 3.0.3-0-4
DomU runs physically same image as dom0.
DomU uses all 4 CPUs and 6.5 (out of 8) gigabytes of RAM.
Currently no other domUs are running on the same physical server (although 
in past they run, and in future will probably run again).
