Need 775lga processor suggestions for storage server

[BTRY B 529th FA BN]

Recommend me a 775lga chip for a P5Q Premium board as a file storage server.

Thanks

I don't think you'll need much. Get one of the new Celeron E3000 (E3200 or E3300) series.

That'll work? as in be enough bandwidth?

Just for the hell of it, I'd recommend a E4xxx or E5xxx series, just to get the dual core and additional cache. If your needs for that box increase, or you want to start running some server-side apps/etc, you'll have a little more power to play with. The new Celerons aren't too bad either, but is there really much of a price difference? Probably pick up something decent for dirt cheap here in the forums actually.

edit, whoops, forgot the new cellys are dual core

what the hell, the Celeron E3200 and above seem pretty decent, scratch what I said.

Whatever the cheapest chip that will work in your board. Your bandwidth will be limited by the interface (ethernet) a LONG time before it gets limited by the PCU. File server is one of the least intensive tasks there is
