Hopes and expectations are already being set higher then what most likely will be shown to be the norm. Although everything could change with the retail chips, for 45nm quads I'd be lowering my expectation to 450 FSB 24/7 if not less.
The board its self was an outstanding issue. I get so many weird errors, even at the stock loaded bios settings. I could run memtest 1 day and have it go 8+ hours, then the next day it would do nothing but error.

And I and know what I hope for probably won't really happen, but I feel I deserve a good chip after the last few crappy one's that I've had. It's said that the people who are the most successful in life, are also the most optimistic.
