Well it depends on what you want in your new board, workstation vs server....I just built 2 machines based on this board....<span class="headline_category">MSI 785G-E53 AM3 785G</span>...with amd quad cores....one is acting as a server and centos 5.5 loaded up just fine with no issues, running KVM with a couple of VM's....I would look at the 1055T or 1090T CPU which have 6 cores and would probably give you better performance if you want to run 4 or 5 vm's.....the one thing that I did was use a pata DVD burner...since I have heard of issues with the sata versions and centos....I prefer amd to Intel since I'm always on a very limited budget...;) <br>
