[QUOTE="Fuzzfas, post: 547976, member: 4553"] The price you got that for, is great. I also don't know your exact needs for virtualization. Normally, against a Sandybridge, i know that people who run virtual machines, prefer AMD FX (the best bang for buck, would be to get the cheapest FX83XX available and overclock it to 4Ghz). This, because AMD FX supports AMD-V and IOMMU, while the Sandybridge 2500K doesn't support Intel's VT-D. I guess you will still be able to run virtual machines, but the FX is normally better equipped for the job. But i don't know many details neither what exactly is needed.

If your virtual machines run fine with the Sandy, you got it for a steal. [/QUOTE]
