VMWare looks to be really, really efficient, I'm thinking I could run quite a few servers on a single VM.

Thumbs up - Good call. That's the way to go. The mainframe days are over.

Mainframe days are not over they have moprphed into supercomputers. Mega Multiple processors in parrallel. Mains still have their uses but the makes of such machines see the benefit of using as many off the shelf components as possible.
