Pretty much any AMD or Intel processor that supports hardware

OK, I'm looking at a Gigabyte GA-78LMT-USB3 (mainly for its 4 RAM slots
supporting 32GB RAM), with an Athlon II X4 640 and 16GB RAM, which works out
at about £130 ex-VAT.
I have no experience of software RAID, but IIRC LVM supports it and KVM
works fine with LVM volumes.
Cool.
So, I'm now looking at two options:
- KVM (on Ubuntu as it's what I know)
- VirtualBox (also on Ubuntu).
The reason VBox is still in the equation is that I have a lot of experience of
it, it runs on most of my PCs and therefore I have loads of VBox VMs kicking
around that I can just migrate to the new "server". KVM is no doubt the
"right" way to go so what are the arguments in its favour to counter the
convenience of VirtualBox?
