I'm somewhat overwhelmed with the selection of Xeon CPUs on the market right now. Should I stick with the less expensive route and pick the Kentsfield or Yorkfield based socket 775 CPUs? Or should I go with the slightly higher performing Wolfdale and Harpertown socket 771 CPUs and open the way for SMP enabled boards and eight logical CPU goodness? Or is the performance of a lower clocked but slightly higher priced Nehalem worth jumping on the DDR3 bandwagon for?

I'd like to keep my CPU price point in the $200-300 (each) zone. The system will do a lot of everything running several virtual servers (Exchange, Web, Domain Controller, etc)
