Depends on what you're trying to do. If you need more VMs per host, I would think quad-core would be the way to go. If you need fewer VMs per host but more speed on each of those VMs, you might want to spend the money on the faster dual-cores.

Hello,

Are quad core systems generally preferable (over dual core
systems)?

I know it's advisable to run the Dom0 seperately on its own CPU/Core But
will DomUs generally benefit from multi-core seperation as well? This is
not about multiprocessor-adjusted applications but about the general
performance and usability of the DomUs (with a typical "Desktop" board
like the "Intel DQ35JO" and with all the Domains on one single harddrive).

Thanks & best regards, Mark Weinem
