Hi all what Intel CPU iX based would you reccomend for an esxi host running at home?

At the moment I have an old host running on a wolfdale e8800 high end dual core.

Need something that's cheap to run but has a good amount of punch processing wise can sit quietly idle and burst up when needed. Cheap to run but can handle a fair whack of vms?

Looking to pick something up from MM
 
Great thanks all :) that should give me enough info to look around finding a suitable chip and seeing if I can get a good deal in MM its going to be a budget build so cheaper the better.
 
Yeh looking at the prices seems there has been a jump since I last looked at cost :p

I'll have a look around over weekend
