Hi,
I have Dual Core 3.4Ghz processor and my VMware esx server runs very slow on it, so planning to buy core 2 duo or quad core processor. But i dont want to waste the current processor, is there any motherboard which has dual cpu socket , also supports dual core and core2 duo or quad core.

Sell the old processor. That would probably be cheaper than buying a motherboard like that. No real gain anyway unless the programs you are running can take advantage of it.
