Well, I managed to mess myself up yet again. This morning I placed an order for the parts for a server/folding rig at home. Nothing to fancy, but a Q6600 included. Well, later in the day I see the X3350s are out. So I can't resist and I place an order for that. Well, that leaves me with one too many CPUs. 
I've already spent a boatload, so I really can't afford to get too much more stuff. So, I guess I'll sell one of my CPUs. But I can't decide which one.
I've got a Q6600 that I've had for a while in my main computer. It is in an Asus P5E. I haven't been able to get more than 3.6ghz, but I just upgraded the RAM, and a few other things, so it might do better. This is the computer that is going to be getting the X3350.
I've got a E3110 in my work computer. It got up to 4.05Ghz before my Crucial RAM started degrading. Might be able to go higher. Using it to get some SMP folding in while I'm working. I can't use the 2x VM with a Quad trick on it because it won't play nice with the work network using a domain.
A Q6600 should still probably give me better output.
I'm going to be upgrading my roomies computer. It is currently an AMD Opteron system, so either an E3110, or a Q6600 would be a big step up. I also fold on this computer, but I'm not sure how much longer I can do that (she just got engaged to somebody living halfway across the country).
The server/folding computer is definately getting a Q6600, no problem with VMware on that machine.
I just got a Q6600 today from the Classifieds and the PCB lists it as 0A0704, which according to the E3110 overclocking thread, might be a really good clocker. Tempted to put this in the home server box.
So, if you've waded through all this, the CPUs I've got are
Q6600 (makes 3.6Ghz under water)
Q6600 (0A0704 (close to 00 on the last 2 numbers, might be good)
Q6600 (in transit from Newegg)
X3110 (Can do 4.05Ghz)
X3350 (ordered, but not yet in transit)
Computers are
P5E home rig, (will get X3350) W/C
IP35-E Home server, A/C
IP35-E Work computer, A/C
IP35-E Roomies computer, A/C
Which of the remaining computers should get which CPUs, and which one should I wind up getting rid of?
Sorry about being so bad a decision making.
