You could look into VPN. Downloading and browsing through an good VPN would not bottleneck your internet speed a lot. You will probably get almost the same speed. But then again if the VPN service provider is logging your traffic. They can track you.

Well. It depends a lot of the motherboard. Ive read and I see a lot of motherboards which don't support it but when you flash the bios you get support for VT-D. But Intel says that in general the P67 chipset should not support VT-D. But still some of them do. Thanks for the link digip. I know that the K version supports VT-X which I think is almost as good as VT-D. But I am no expert in this field. I think I will go for an Asus P8P67-M with I7 2600k.

Well I see that the P67 Motherboards does not support VT-D. And that is crucial for virtualization. (Correct me if am wrong). So I need to rethink this setup.

Thanks for help. I will use SSD and 32GB ram. When I did encoding/rendering on my i7 2600k it was fast but I don`t have the need for it. The i5 2500k did perfectly for the job also since I have some rigs with i5 2500k. So the only reason for an i7 2600 is for visualization. And it will boost encoding/rendering ofc as an bonus.

Im currently looking on buying some new hardware for an computer build but I am a bit unsure. My usage is: - Installing Arch Linux with OpenBox and using 64Bit virtualization. - A lot of CPU heavy task. Going to do tons of encoding/rendering. So I just sold my rig with i7 2600k that does not support 64Bit virtualization. Since I need that I need to buy an intel processor without the "K" Im thinking of buying an M-ATX P67 MB from ASUS. P8P67M Or P8P67M-PRO Will these support all my virtualization needs? I might install proxmox or Xen server later on the machine. The CPU`s im looking on is the: i5 2500 Or i7 2600 I see the main difference here is Hyper Threading. Is HT good to have for virtualization and is it supported from apps in Arch Linux? And the i7 2600 has 8MB of cache The Z68 chipset has greate functions but I don`t think the GPU solution is supported? If setup it can change from the inbuilt GPU to an external GPU when the perfomance is needed. Big thanks for any advices ;)
