as i mentioned earlier i prefer AMD processor for heavy lifting you have a choice of processors to go with tough http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intel_VT#Intel_Virtualization_Technology_for_x86_.28Intel_VT-x.29 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AMD-V#AMD_virtualization_.28AMD-V.29 satyaakam.net -- l...@iitd - http://tinyurl.com/ycueutm
