is this for real ??? cause that would yield a lot of leeway

I could probably get 4.7-5.0 ghz on the Q9650 - my likely next chip...

I just wish they made a REGULAR Q9770 with E0 stepping....that would be sweet starting at 3.2 ghz and 400 fsb - it would basically be a Quad-Core E8600... 4.5 ghz would be no problem...
