VM PC-Server Hardware Upgrade Part 1
This video is the next in the series of creating a high-end Virtual Machine (VMWare) server that will support my Home Lab as a central system where Virtual Systems will be created to manage all aspects of my YouTube Channel. In this episode I am upgrading both my Motherboard BIOS, and a Critical Chip Set update (for the Intel South Bridge), prior to extending my memory from 64gb to 128gb. Thanks for watching.
