I have been looking to upgrade from my a64 3400 (newcastle) for a while now, just as I feel it is getting a bit long in the tooth. I had been looking at the budget end of the market - specifically the e6300.
My needs, however, have changed recently, and I need to run some virtual servers on my main rig.
With this in mind, what could be considered the most appropriate upgrade? is the e6300 still a decent option for this purpose, or would I be better looking at an alternative.
To give some more info, I'd like to be running up to 4 or 5 server 2003R2 VM's if at all possible.
My existing kit is DDR ram and AGP graphics, so I'd like to avoid having to change it all at once. Like many, I was considering the asrock VSTA as a halfway house until I could afford the new memory and gfx card.
Advice would be appreciated, as mny budget hasn't changed despite my requirements having done so.
