retail QX9650 first run -> 4400mhz on Intel cooler box

For a long haul computer getting an extreme edition might be a worthwille investment, if you are willing to bet Nehalem won't overclock as good as penryn.
The reasoning being that this baby at 4.4 will probably be faster than a regular Nehalem... (Nehalem might be fast but hey not that fast)

And what makes you says that? Nehalem even @ stock should be at least 2x as fast. From what i know it will have 3x bandwide then curent cpu's. It's to early to know what Nehalem will bring. But i think you will be suprised how fast it is. I'm a bit sceptical how MMC will do at sub zero.

Anyway retail @ 4.4G is plain sick for now, that's 4 cores fo you over 4G's on air 24/7

2x as fast at stock? Wanna bet?

From your words to Gods and Intels ears, my friend.
I just made that assumption based on my thinking of what "normal" advances in speed between architectures could be.
But judging how good theese babies are right now I wouldnt be surprised if they decide to pump up stock speeds in 2nd release of 45nm quads.
