Need to spec a PC for using with vmware server.
Windows XP as the host OS.
Obviously plenty of RAM (4Gb+?) but what CPU type is best?

Core 2 Duo - most likely 6300 or 6400
New Dual Core Xeon - i.e 1.86Ghz 3040 or 2.13Ghz 3050
AMD Athlon X2
Opteron - know nothing much about these!
Random option - dual, dual-core Xeons. Probably out of budget though.

Thanks

Thank you for the replies.
Will scale back the memory a bit tperhaps. Was going to run 3 Windows 2003 servers and 2 XP Pro and maybe 1 Vista for testing.

How do multiple harddisks help?
