    A few months ago I would have been all over that.

    But it is hard to justify now that i3 530 and 540's are here that can do 4.6ghz reasonably on high end air as far as dual core overclocking goes.

    Heck, for $350 give or take, that's the cpu, mobo, and 4gb ddr3...

    When I build my i3 dual core air system, I'll post comparison pics between a 4.5ghz e8xxx vs. a 4.5ghz i3 5xx system...
