LOL I would hardly call 3GHz for a 2.4GHz chip an "extreme." Ever heard of a Maximus needing more NB voltage at 333MHz FSB? I know what I'm doing; that chip sucked.
RE hoping to achieve: I wanted a really good Q6600 and I didn't get one; end of story. I'll either splash out on a 9650 or get an 8400... whatever I choose, it has to last me at least a year. That's the only reason I'd be prepared to get an Extreme CPU, because I intend to keep it for a long time, and I suspect the QX9650 will have quite some time left on the market as a top end CPU.
