Firstly, X6800s have 4MB cache, so to truly 'exceed' it, you'd have to clock an E4300 to about 3.3/3.4GHz or so, and the chip reviewed here apparently was nowhere near stable at 3.6GHz, so I'm assuming 3.3GHz would be about its max stable with reasonable voltage, maybe less. Secondly, countless people have achieved 100% overclocks on E6300s, on air no less. I was just expecting more seeing as so many people claimed E4300s would all be massive overclockers for a great price, and they're obviously binned under E6xxx parts; the only plus is the 9x multi for boards that AREN'T P5B-Deluxe. It's a good budget chip, but as usual it was overhyped by the typical herd of internet reviewers.
