esxi

Finally I have some money to buy a new server and replace the one I have been using for 10 years.

Im thinking of running ESXi on the new server. And intend to use it as follows;

One W2008 R2 Guest running Exchange, File store, SVN and an accounting
application for day to day running of the company.
Multiple Guest VMs W2K, XP, Vista &
WIN7 that were setup for testing in-house & real
customer images also for testing.
Probably Two Server Guest Os's W2003 & W2008 running at the same time again for testing.
One Guest VM for builds & Continuous integration.
Possibly one Guest running W220R2 for a customer website (Portal)

This server will have to last another 10 years so I want to get the spec right. Althought I am clear on the memory and disk requirments I am not so clear on the processor(s). Im thinking of 2 Quadcore processors but welcome advice on this.

Proposed Spec

10GB Ram
2TB Sata Drives (Hardware Raid 1)
2 Processors (TBC)

Normally 3 Server VM's will running concurrently and the other VMs will be started as required. Max expected VMs running about 7. Max users = 4.

TIA..
