Well have it booted, adn running in windows, i am using the 0701 Bios, its idleing @ 34 degrees!!!!! Did a quick Super PI 1MB test and came back with a 18Sec PI time, that is all stock! 2.66Ghz. Will be back in a bit with some more info.
Sounds about right. (stock conroe does 21s) I think they found its not any faster than Core 2 in Single threaded apps, only in multiple threaded apps.
