I bought an Antec Sonata I a while back and was not particularly
impressed.  It looks very nice just out of the shipping box, but it
doesn't keep well - the glossy finish on the steel parts scratches
very easily, and the plastic parts look and feel like cheap, chunky
plastic.  Don't know what has changed between the Sonata I and the
Sonata II, though.

I would expect much better performance from a dual core CPU than from
a single core CPU, at least if you have multiple virtual machines
running concurrently.
