Your most future-proof option would be a processor based on the 45nm Wolfdale or Yorkfield cores along with a chipset that supports VT-d (such as the Q35/Bearlake). If 64-bit is your only concern, you can get by with any proc that has EM64T support:

Isnt there a specific CPU spec to look for to take advantage of some features -VM or Exchange I think, I forget this minute. Im looking for a 64-bit system but CPU speed doesnt matter as much as 16GB RAM capability..
