Hi everyone. Hopefully you can give me some advice. I want to build a server which runs a number of virtual machines using VMware server. I have just noticed a very good deal overclockers are doing on an Intel Q6600. Could this do the job alongside 8GB of DDR2 RAM or would you recommend spending the extra cash on a Q6700?

Many thanks

Phil
 
Corasik, thanks for your reply. I've ordered the Q6600 after reading the last couple of replies. Although I've never oc'd, I'd definitely consider it.

I have 8GB of DDR2 RAM for this machine - I was maybe thinking of allocating 1GB to each of the four VMs. What do you think?

Also, I am going to allocate each VM its own 36GB Raptor.
