Sorry dinos22 I don't have a C2 here, can get one probably in 10-12 days (and your tempting me now seriously ) but I don't see a need for the hassle and am not planning on getting one soon. Got a load of old parts to sell for now. Maybe get a Penryn late March then to test>sell but for now, waiting for Phenom if all goes right. FWIW that Celeron is also my work system, used to be mine but I sold it to work place (where I still use it) and I only have a personal lappy for now (this isn't my home country either).

Zeus: I doubt it'll make anywhere near the same difference with faster cores (more powerful cores) but it certainly will make a difference over a top CW. I need to run some tests myself on various platforms first. I have a P4 chip lying around somewhere but again its completely in parts, some missing and no conroe either.

BTW the forums timing out for me repeatedly.
