That is one of the main bug bears with ESXi. I have a perfectly fine
Dell 210 half length server, that's got a Xeon (I think x3470 3.9Ghz quad
core), the only short comming with that server is it's max 16Gb of
ram. ESXi 5 ran fine on it, but I wasn't willing to use that in
production, so it was setup with Proxmox 6.x when installed in a data
centre, and was rocksolid...
