speedeuphoria,do it! get it while thier hot.and you are right about them clocking about the same as the duals.this one i have seems to clock just as good as my E8500,maybe better. plus it taking less volts than my E8500 to do the same clocks.i will continue pushing it to see how much better it is.at this point though i stick by my word that this is probally the best cpu out there.

Finally started tweaking this thing and was able to get past 4GHz.

I just ordered it, not sure how far it will go on a Xiggy S1283 but we'll see. As long as it goes over 4Ghz I'll be happy

You dont start to see benifit from ddr3 over ddr2 i believe until you get to around 1700 mgz, there is not a ton of difference between the ddr2 and ddr3, but when you start hitting 1800 + you get some decent benifit.

The big thing to me is ddr2 has reached its max, ddr3 has no way come close to its max yet, there up to ddr3 2133 mgz and climbing. I7 takes full advantage of ddr3, the p45 chipset and ddr3 are just not a good match, you need a x48, 790i chipset, or 17. Bob your better off getting a x48, 790i, i7 if your going ddr3, or use the ud3p for ddr2, hope that helps you.

i recommend OCZ Flex II PC2-9200 4GB (2x2GB) kit if you can find it.
however, you cannot expect to get tight timings out of the memory kit.
