E2140... Why? When E2180 is avail for 3.4k....
Any special reason , KPower?

^^Save a bit on CPU, get a more stable and better mobo and 2GB of RAM. And even a 5yr old retarded kid can OC E2140 to E2180 level....so no point in wasting even .4 or .6k on it !!

^^ I think he is not a kid to OC a hell as u said...
Just on safer side, so i choose E2180.. Avoiding risk in OC...

Bond, Desi Bond!
^^ Actually, there is no risk as long as you are OC'ing inside the architectures limits.
What Kpower said is worthy.
E2140, E2160, E2180, E2200, and E2220 use the Allendale core, a stripped-down version of the Conroe core, featuring 1MiB L2 cache natively
The only difference between them is speed.
eg: I have AMD Athlon 64 3000+. It's actual speed is 1.8GHz and I oc'ed it to 2.25 and am using it for more than 2yrs and it's still going strong. By that OC'ing I saved around 5k rupees and in benchmarking, it was able to match 5k costlier processors that use same architecture.
and moreover, at the max, if you do too much of OC'ing, the OS reboots and nothing happens.
The real damage is done when you alter the voltage levels which 90% of overclocker's won't do.

^^Mine came with 2.2 and OC'd to something around 2.7 with CNPS9500 and Big Water SE and unfortuantely both went kaput so now running on 2.4Ghz with a little more temps. but its ok .

OK I also suggest him the E2140. period.

No, its 9800GTX+, waaay better performer and VFM than 9800GTX.

Yes^^
I mean 9800TX @ 20k, can't even beat the 8800GTX honest, leave alone the 8800ULTRA.
The 9800GTX+ @ 12k manages to perform almost par-to-par with the ULTRA, what a shame on nVidia really, the 9-series.

Well since I got mine 2GB DIMM of 800MHz Patriot RAM for 1,750 I was hopin' to suggest him a single 2GB 800MHz DIMM from Kingston or Transcend. I know u'll say 667MHz one can be OCed to almost 8000MHz level but the Dude ain't high on OCing. He didn't even knew about IGPs till today so u c what type of audience I'm catering to in my Final year of B.Tech (I.T)

^^It was not meant to you, it was to poster above you .
And ya, 667MHz and 800MHz will hardly make a difference in a normal PC.
Hope you understand otherwise its your friend's money . BTW, you can OC it for him too.
