or virtualization

E6300 anyway, only conroe's have the virtualization technology in.

 

[wesley]

oops sorry me bad!

gotta have a motherboard that support virtualization ?

thanks

DOn't think so. I think its the chip that supports Virtualisation extensions not the motherboard. In that case any recent C2D, C2Q or Phenom will do it well.

Some of the lower end C2D chips don't support it, can't remember which ones though (E2xxx series probably).

You need an E6xxx E8xxx Q6xxx or Q9xxx desktop cpu wise. Pretty sure most decent S775 boards support it I would personally go for something with an Intel chipset say P35.
