I had an E4500, i wound up just getting rid of it and buying the quad core outright, during the first 2 weeks of testing, i came to find that the results were completely scalable, and the ones that performed good on the quad core, performed even better on the dual core. So for dual core performance just use the same chart, you can expect excellent results either way around if you choose a good performer from that chart. When the next phase of overclocking results are posted, you will be able to see which heatsinks fall behind, some heatsinks max out at a certain point for being about to dissipate heat. The Ultra ChillTEC for instance, will be limited by the TEC itself. As the CPU gets hotter, so will the hot side of the tec, and because the air cooler mounted to that side is pretty much already at its thermal limit, its performance will decrease faster.
