You actually can't run VirtualBox on a machine with KVM installed ... we use KVM to run a Windows Server (with an RDP server in it) and Linux servers, it's not bleeding edge Intel CPU's that we're using ... we're on "Dell PowerEdge T310"s with only the bulk standard 2.4Ghz cpu's you just have to remember to turn on all the virtualization stuff in the BIOS ... might be worth a look. PS. make sure you have a large swap area, KVM wants as much swap as memory you grant to the KVM instance.
