If you want to run a "bare metal" VM hypervisor, you usually need a processor that supports virtualization extensions.
You can google "Intel processor numbers" to get the details of which processors support which extensions. There's probably a similar page out there for AMD but I haven't found it in a minute of searching.

I didn't keep anything about the recent thread (Michael I think) about buying 64-bit white box hardware other than it was e-wiz.com. Isn't there a specific CPU spec to look for to take advantage of some features -VM or Exchange I think, I forget this minute. I'm looking for a 64-bit system but CPU speed doesn't matter as much as 16GB RAM capability..
