One aspect that I think is important is to ensure that the processor
support the virtualization instructions. For Intel that's VT-x and VT-d
and Intel tends to turn these features on and off at random across their
processor range. So before buying a processor I'd recommend checking it
out on http://ark.intel.com/.
