Just looking now, I can't find a definitive answer as to whether the Q8300 has VT-x extensions. Anyone know? Do I need them?
eBuyer have an own-brand Q8400 box that's cheaper but lower spec in other areas (2GB RAM, 500GB HDD), but I think the Q8400 will at least have VT-x?
Or should I build my own? Wouldn't be the first time, but I'm out of date on what makes for a good motherboard spec these days.
