From the available E2xxx CPUs which are more likely to run 3 GHz at stock volts? (and thus cooler?) Does the multi make any difference (allowing you to run a lower FSB in this respect to vcore?)

Or is it just based on chance? Do they have differnet starting vcores?

My new rig is geared for silence. Heatsink will be a XP-120 (have it from my old rig) or a TRUE. Motherboard P35. RAM DDR2-6400.

When it's all stable I'm planning on using Speedstep (for watching films/web browsing etc.). Does speedstep adjust itself (e.g. if you are OC to 3 GHz and it would drop to say 1.2 GHz (guess)) or is it fixed (i.e. it would always drop to 1.2 GHz no matter what your overclocked to?)

I've never owned an Intel system btw hence the noobness.

I've spent way too much time reading about this. I'm going for the E2160 CPU :) Shame there isn't a 45nm version yet!
 
I've ordered it now - but I went for the E2180 as I could get free shipping with it. Didn't want to spend more than the E2160, I should have gotten it with the rest of my gear!!

So many choices.
 
Now I have my E2180 but I've just sold 2 copies of Office 2007 Pro for £200 so I will be returning it and getting a E8400.

I haven't tried it so it's still fully packaged so I don't feel so bad :D

The reason I returned it is I want 45nm as I want to reduce my electric bill and have a near silent computer!! :D
