AMD vs. intel for Linux KVM machine

[pixelfairy]

anyone try kvm -enable-nesting? thats my biggest draw towards phenom2

im looking at quadcore phenom2 and i7, opterons are too expensive.

It should be known already that the Pentium E6300 is the cheapest dual

Except that it isn't, you forgot Celeron Dual-Core, there is an E3x00 series that have VT.

Ok, i did not look at celeron because the cache is even smaller, but of course it is cheaper you are right.
