not sure why you would want to do that but for $186 you can get a E6420 with 4MB cache.

Or better yet if you can wait until July 22nd when prices will drop and you can get the new E6750 which are looking like they will overclock like crazy.

With a max of $180, the e6420 is going to be about it.
All you will gain is the extra 2 meg of cache.

well with 180 i would say either the E6780 or E6550. still getting 4mb's of L2 but getting the new G0 stepping which so far looks like the stepping to allow higher ocs.

If you can live with used I have seen some e6600's go for around that price.

I'd either vote for a used 6600 or wait on the e6750 to come out

I'd say wait til next month when the price drop and the new stepping CPU's come out. I'm in the same position, I'd love to replace mine to better suit my board, and will just have to wait for the price drop.

Might need to wait a few months if your planning up going a big upgrade, but going from a 6400 to 4300 just doesn't make a whole lot of sense (in my opinion) unless you're having serious issues with your current 6400... any thoughts on why you would want to head that direction? (Just so I can get a better understanding on what you're thinking).
