Citrix XenClient Hardware Compatibility List (HCL)
Citrix, VDI May 12th, 2010This list is taken from the CTX125133 article Citrix XenClient 1.0 RC User Guide.
Although as yet the HCL list is currently very small, I bet Citrix will be relying on third party vendors to OEM XenClient and add their own drivers.

*The 15.4″ Premium, UltraSharpTM WUXGA (1920×1200) Display with High Brightness (Wide View) is not supported. Only the 15.4″ Premium WXGA+ (1440×900) LED Display (Wide View) and 15.4″ Premium WXGA (1280×800) Display models are supported.
Hardware requirements
XenClient runs on the 64 bit hardware platforms listed above only. The additional hardware requirements are:
• Intel Core 2 Duo series processor with Intel VT-x Technology and VT-d Technology (Intel vPro Technology)
• 4GB or more memory recommended
• 160GB or more disk drive space recommended
• Intel Integrated Graphics 4500MHD
Note:
XenClient does not support the use of non-symmetric RAM DIMMs.
Supported operating systems
XenClient supports the installation of the following operating systems:
• Microsoft Windows 7 32bit
Note:
If you prefer to use Windows XP Mode to run your Windows XP applications on your Windows 7 VM, (instead of using a separate Windows XP VM) please ensure that you download the latest version of the Windows XP Mode software from http://www.microsoft.com/windows/virtual-pc/. Some earlier versions of the Windows XP Mode software used Intel VT-x virtualization technology in a way that conflicted with XenClient operation. The latest version of Windows XP Mode does not use Intel VT-x virtualization technology.
• Microsoft Windows Vista 32bit SP2
• Microsoft Windows XP 32bit SP3
Note:
The installation or modification of software directly on the XenClient host file system is not supported.

When will an update HCL be released? We are currently standardizing on the Lenovo x201 notebook. Although almost exactly identical to the x200, XenClient does not work with it’s video card.
Anxiously waiting….
