Nearly the same use here, KVM-virtualization, still one VMware-player-driven-VM .... I play with the thought of getting myself a nice new machine for work, better to spend some money on hardware than on taxes (2012 is near ...). Performance is one issue, another one is energy/noise ... the phenom 1090t seems to pull in a lot and need good (and maybe noisy) fans. I just start to compare. 6 cores, yep, sounds good for both gentoo-compile-work and VMs ... Stefan
