Yeap! Easy, isn't it?

Oh, sorry to hear that.

I'd suggest you get at least a VT enabled CPU (check out AMD's CPUs, 
they all have that enabled by default). If the computer is going to run 
24/7, I'd suggest you go for a greener CPU. I've checked a lot of 
benchmarks and found out that Intels will be greener and cooler and most 
competitive when it comes to performance. But those are pricey when it 
comes to VT. Therefore, I'd stick with the 65W AMD Phenom II 905e.
I'm not sure how the mobo will affect Xen's features, therefore I 
recommend you ask the guys here?
