I doubt you'd see much of a gaming difference. Provided the Phenom was getting a decent fps in the game. For the most part I can't tell the difference between my 2600k and a Q6600. If I have Vsync turned on and I am gaming at 1080p...

It should be pointed out that if you use the free version of ESXi you can only have four threads per VM...even if you had two CPUs. I think you can only have up to 16GB of memory too...not sure on that though I am currently...

I'd go Intel honestly...it is pretty easy to get a Intel CPU and mother board that supports VT-d or IOMMU. Though it is annoying on the new CPUs...none of the K CPUs support it so you have to use the CPUs with a locked multiplier...
