Virtualization is one aspect -- I had a Core 2 Quad that I upgraded last 
year, I was stuck running ECC memory and found a core i7 with 16 GB of RAM 
for less than it would cost for 16GB on the old machine.

I'm running VirtualBox for a couple of virtual machines, and it handles 
virtualization better than the old CPU.

But, yeah - the processor was fine for most things. It was the lack of 
support for larger drives and USB 2 that bothered me the most.
