I am thinking of picking up an i5 2400 from Microcenter for $129.
It is about 50% less than a comparable 1155 Xeon and it supports Vt-d, Vt-x and other goodies except for Multi-Threading. Intel Specs
Which motherboard would you suggest to run a home virtual machine lab on this CPU?
->It should support Vt-d etc,
->Be compatible with the common free Virtualization packages
Are the Q67 based motherboards the only option? What else do I need to worry about in terms of support for virtualization?
