advice processor for running vmware/virtual box images

[idata]

Hi guys!

My excuses for the weird username.

I'm looking for some good advice on what will be the best processor for my desktop for running virtual box images (linux with application servers/databases mostly oracle software) and in my host os (windows 7) i will also be running application servers/databases (mostly oracle software).

I did some compare on the processors

Header 1i7-2700Ki7-2600Intel® Virtualization Technology (VT-x)YesYesIntel® vPro TechnologyNoYesIntel® Virtualization Technology for Directed I/O (VT-d)NoYesIntel® Trusted Execution TechnologyNoYes

I'm not sure if these are the most important difference to look at, but was hoping any of you can give me some good advice.

Thanks!

I would suggest the i7-2600 since it includes both Intel® Virtualization Technology (VT-x) and (VT-d)
