All "modern" intel processor support virtualization technology. AMD processors also support virtualization technology. Looking into the requirements from the Virtualization vendors (Microsoft, VMWare, XenSource, etc) and make sure that you use at least the minimum recommended processor.
There will be new chips coming out from AMD and Intel that are designed to better support hypervisor technology in the next version of Windows Longhorn Server.
As far as some of the new "Nx" (No-eXecute) features in Windows, not all intel CPU’s support it (as of August 2006). While all AMD processors do support Nx.
