As you may know, I have a pair of Dell PowerEdge SC440 servers which I use for my virtualization testing and evaluation. With the recent release of ESXi for free and also interest in testing out Parallels Server, both of which require an Intel CPU with VT Technology. Neither of my current servers are equipped with that option so I’m looking to upgrade to a new CPU. I have decided, basically due to restrictions of the motherboard and chipset the best CPU for me will be in an Intel 3060 Xeon.

The technical specifications of the CPU are as follows:

Intel Xeon 3060 Conroe 2.4GHz LGA 775 65W Dual-Core Processor Model BX805573060 - Retail

* Series: Xeon
* FSB: 1066MHz
* L2 Cache: 4MB
* Manufacturing Tech: 65 nm
* 64 bit Support: Yes
* Virtualization Technology Support: Yes
* Multimedia Instruction: MMX, SSE, SSE2, SSE3, EM64T
* Cooling Device: Heatsink and Fan included
* Model #: BX805573060
