What are the specs on the AMD dual core and the Pentiums?

At the moment, I'm using an AMD Athlon64 single core with 2gb ram for my
BBS machine. The only downfall is that it is a 939 socket processor and
doesn't support AMD-V, so no virtualization is possible. I would like to
switch up to a system that does support virtualization, so I can put my two
testing VMs onto the same machine as my main hub node and leave my gaming
rig alone (at the moment I'm running a VM 24/7 on my gaming system, which
it would be nice to leave my main computer for everything else BUT BBS
related stuff. :)

Obviously, if I were to build a new gaming machine, my current i5 would be
more than enough to do what I want with it in regards to virtualization and
the BBS stuff. But then I feel like I'd be wasting a still somewhat
upper-end good computer on dedication to servers when it could be used for
so much more still.

Regards,
Nick
