I was thinking about picking up another 3000+ to see if I could squeeze out a few more mhz - (running at 2.6 24/7 right now) - but maybe I'll just be happy with what I got...
Most of them wouldn't do 2.4 regardless of voltage and 2 of them were 3500's! I also would consider a bad overclocker something that needs 1.6 to hit 2.5 stable. Like a few of the ones Ive had. My best OCer does 2.6 @ 1.55 +5%, and 2.5 @ stock volts. The other CPUs I still have need 1.55 + 8.3% just to hit 2.5Ghz. I see people here getting 2.6 or 2.7 on stock volts. I've never been that lucky.
