I'm trying to consolidate/upgrade some rigs.
My current web/email/work desktop is
AMD X2 5050e, Biostar 690 mobo, 4gb ddr, and an 8800gt
I want to move this set up minus the video card to replace my old 2.4 xeon file server
I have currently been running the VMs on an old dual 3.6 xeon box
The new setup with be for email, web, and running VMs for my testing
For the new setup I am looking at a few options that all seem to be in a similar price range.
For ram I want to get 8gb either ddr2 800 or 1066 depending on the combo.
For cpu I've been looking at either an Intel Q8200, AMD Phenom II 920
I've also looked at getting a P2 X3 720 or 550be and hope to unlock the cores.
Any suggestion on which would handle running multiple VMs with VM Workstation better?
