I was going to reply to earlier but got side tracked. He's say that with a low multiplier, you hit the FSB wall earlier. I pegged as some big Intel Fan even after complain that Intel is doing nothing but selling lower base speed processors already overclocked. With less FSB headroom and a lower multiplier it takes more to overclock them since they are essentially already overclocked.

So without sounding and like an equally crazy AMD Fanboy, here's the problem I have with this.

Processor, Group A.
7 X 266.7 = 1.86GHz
7.5 X 266.7 = 2GHz
8 X 266.7 = 2.1GHz

All very cheap and fairly good overclockers that will easily overclock to 333.3 (1333.3 effective) easily. Even Noobs, us and Intel knows this. Many will do 333.3 without a voltage hike!

Processor, Group B.
7 X 333.3 = 2.3GHz
7.5 X 333.3 = 2.5GHz
8 X 333.3 = 2.66GHz

Almost the same processors with some upgrades but is that worth the extra costs. The only real things it has going for it is more optimizations and larger cache(courts are out on how much it helps). I'd much rather buy an older G0 Q/6600 or keep my Current E6600. Even better, wait for Nahelem like AMD fans waited for Phenom
