4GHz or more is poor for you?

like i said, poor EXTREME overclocking on normal chips (aka NOT EXTREME versions)

ehem:
1) and lower powerconsumption if run at same performance
2) yes, but which generation change didn't do that (P4 to C2, etc.), the only real letdown are the boards, you cant get a board for less then 200€ (personaly i dont mind, but a lot of people do).
3) extreme ocerclocking has no "qpi" (more like blck) limit. The EE has unlocked multi so your up to go. 6ghz+ already happend on nehalem
4) Depends, but its not slower then the pervious generations so its good enough.

1) i know it has a performance advantage and a performance/watt advantage.... did i state otherwise?
2) not in the mood for research
3) i did say extreme overclocking using non extreme chips, hence the need for some black editions by intel
4) sometimes it is a little bit, but only a few percentages, but i agree on point 4
