Hi
I can't really comment in detail about hardware. For most stuff ram is
probably better to have than CPU in terms of virtualization and fast
storage and/or more or at least one controller card for disks.

I run ESXi 5 and intend to update it to 5.1 which should give me the new
web based admin. Not sure if that is part of esxi. I run all my VMs on two
networks. A private network interconnect between the machines and a
"management" network that allows me to be able to ssh to the boxes that is
connected to a network card and my home router which also does the dhcp.

My pico cent's worth.

Regards
