Hi,

Due to the age of my current desktop and to the latest woes with the
soundcard, I'm planning of actually putting my old and slow AMD Duron
1800 at rest.

I'm not that much an hardware guy, and my requisites are pretty simple.

So, that's what I want:
- A dual/multi-core CPU with good virtualization capabilities (so to run
everything I want under Xen, KVM, whatever...). No need for extreme
performances.
- I suppose I'll have to change the fan, I'd like something as silent as
possible.
- A matching, reasonably good mobo with a *perfectly ALSA supported*
soundcard or a reasonably inexpensive (<60$) perfectly ALSA supported
soundcard.

It would be wonderful if it all can stay below 200-250 Euros (or dollars).

I wait the flood of suggestions!

Yours,
M.
