hitting 3.2GHz is one thing (3.2GHz is 100% oc of E2140) and this can be reached.
but hitting a 100% oc of E2180 means hitting 4GHz whihc is next to impossible on air cooling.also i dont think u wud be able to oc a E2180 to 4GHz anyway.AFAIK only E8xxx proccies hit 4GHz on air cooling.

thanks.

Now either my purchase will occur in ~September or ~December. Thats only a few months away. So any particular component I must be looking for IF it releases after some time ?

I heard rumors of a 100$ phenom hitting the stores near the year end. What about it ?

also if can then wait 4 and buy Nehalem when released.

the thing is if u need it then buy it.dont wait for offers.cuz in 2day's market ur waiting will never end.2day 1 company will come out with somethin new then 2morrow another company will reduce prices of their current line of prods.

good point there. Nehalem is going to arive too, so I must concider it as a top priority if I am waiting for december.

Then how is 4000+ and Jetway690G mobo ? Can the CPU OC well in it ? As its cheaper, I am edging towards it now.

^^^ and frankly speaking wat ru gonna do with that?
even i've Intel VT support in my E8400 but its of no use (and its the same for most users).

U can get 4ghz on 2180 on stock too. It depends nt only on procy bt ram n mbo too. I m sure it can hit 4g on abit ip35

E2180 @ 4GHz on stock?? i dont think its possible cuz E2180 is 65nm fab whereas E8400 is 45nm fab.so the amt of heat generated by E2180 @ 4GHz will be gr8.

I need lots and lots of virtualisation. I will be messing with vmware a lot. What will be the performance difference with and without VT ?(while virtualising ofcourse)

Edit: Update:

I have finally finalised purchase of E2160 + GF7050V-M7. Any advice ?
Can you suggest me another excellent sub 2.5k mobo which can drive E2160 to good frequencies ?

u wont notice any diff with VMWare.hardware VT support is only exploited by 1 or 2 os and those r not from MS.
havent tested any other mobo in that budget.
