Hi Mark,
I went down the route of having a Core 2 Duo running VMware server.  I have
3 VM servers currently running on here. A 2003 Domain controller, Exchange
2007 & a XP Pro VM.   The only thing I can't do with this setup is
Geovision due to the need for its PCI card.  I'm hoping to find a good
alternative IP security camera solution so I can move to having one server.

Thanks Jim.

I may be better with a Core 2 Duo machine doing several tasks and retiring
one of the older PCs.

Will take a look at those links.
