The Intel Pentium D 920 or better (930 or 940) do very well.  They  
are dual-core, large cache, high speed, 64 bit capable processors  
that support Intel's VT technology.
These plug in to several boards.  We used the Intel 955XBK:

This board and processor combination spec'd out quite well and  
performed as expected without any issues.  We didn't over clock it,  
we just wanted straight functionality and it delivered.
