AMD PHENOM X 6 with Gigabyte GA-78LMT-S2P Motherboard

[diwakerd]

hello friends

any advise Gigabyte GA-78LMT-S2P Motherboard supports AMD X 6 1075T
i m planning to build a system for my office replacing all 4 systems to save some power and cost
main usage will be day to day office usage computing No gaming or anything require hardcore cpu power.
i will virtualize this system using vmware or xen and distribute power among 4 systems.

AMD X6 1075T + 8gb ram + Good board around 60-75$ range not very costly

AMD X6 1075 COST Here around $175
MB Gigabyte GA-78LMT-S2P Motherboard cost here $50
8 gb ram cost here around $50 - 75
harddisk i already have 1tb WD BLUE

here what i planned.

system 1 : 2 cores with 3 gb ram ( runs photoshop for normal purpose and dreamweaver note: i m already using these in core2duo @ 2.55ghz with 2gb ram)

system 2: 2 core with 2gb ram ( only work for this system will be php coding in Dreamweaver

system 3: 1 core with 1 gb ( only seo and other internet surfing and accounting work)

system 4 : 1 core with 1gb ram ( normal usage system for our content writer mostly msword and firefox use )

1gb ram will be spared for node usage.

please advise what will be the best option

thanks
