E6300 or E7400

Ok, so I'm a bit a newbie with Virtualization though I'm a quick learner.
My question is simply this; Running XP 64 natively, to get the best performance in OpenGL CAD Pro/E 2000i2 software (old version of pro engineer), does the Virtualization code support make a big difference. 2nd question on the same lines; Would VMware provide "better" performance over Virtualbox? The virtual machine will be likely running Windows 2000.
 
Well lets see

E7400 has:

faster clock speed
more cache
higher multi
45nm vs 65nm which means less heat and voltage required

so yeah i would go with the e7400.

So I take it the E6300 would do better and perform well considering the age of the software?

For running Windows 2000 in a VM? No, I don't think so. HW visualization does not seem to be any faster and whatever speed up you get is unlikely to put an E6300 on top.
 
Yeah, I don't think you'll see too much of a difference with Windows 2000 and HW virtualization. I think the e7400 will benefit more from it being 1GHz faster than the e6300. Plus you are using a virtualization program that is running on top of an OS, not a hypervisor based one like ESX or Hyper-V. If you wanted to do native hypervisor based, then I would save up for an e8400.
