Decent Benchmark :
http://www.cpubenchmark.net/cpu.php?cpu=Intel+Core2+Duo+E8400+%40+3.00GHz

CPU has virtualization :
http://ark.intel.com/products/33910/Intel-Core2-Duo-Processor-E8400-6M-Cache-3_00-GHz-1333-MHz-FSB

7 year old technology.

4GB of RAM

320GB HD

Good Job Mike!! Well worth $41 (in my book!!).

Be interesting to hear about compile times etc.
