How do you mean?  I haven't seen the new bundle, but it the past VMware was
licensed by the number of Physical Processors (sockets) and not cores.
Other apps are the same way (except those like Oracle).

For VMware,  I'd go with AMD as they perform so much better than Intel in
that arena.

I'm surprised no one has mentioned Virtuozzo...  VMWare is great, but if
majority of the stuff is W2k3 and/or linux,  why virtualize the hardware
when you only need to virtualize the OS.
