Mother board finally fully failed, no POST nothing. I need to replace the mother board and memory ( the fatal short was somewhere in that section ). Since I do not want to put good money after bad, I want to move up to Intel i7 (4 core with 8Gb memory) )with EFI etc. But since I have been with AMD for the last 10 years or so, I'm a tad bit out of touch with Intel MB chip-sets and features.
That is what are the virtualization features and or chip-set family to get? This should go without saying but I ask from a "I'm going to mainly use Linux and run KVM / Virtualbox etc." angle not a "MS Windows 7 / 8" angle Don't have to fix this tomorrow, but want to get back in the game at least by the end of the month or sooner. PS: there will be no services, just immediate family will be there for the disposal at the recycling center. -- /** Joe Apuzzo ** Call: KD2AKU ** PGP/GPG: key ID BB5C7 **/
