ESXi supports less hardware than ESX. If you don't have licenses to spare, this means you're a bit out of luck and have to go with the free version which is only limited to ESXi. > > System Specs are as follows: > Dual P3 (1ghz) Processors > Dual 72.8gb Ultra320 SCSI drives. > 4gb's of ram > Looks like it's using the integrated Smart Array Controller.
