Good, Cheap Cruncher?

You guys see this? Overclocking: Get The Performance Of A Core i5 From Core i3

Seems pretty cool and cheap!

This is mis-leading, they are talking about dual core i5's and not the i5-750.

Good article though. I also required right under 1.4V for 4.5GHz. Under a very modest water cooling setup (left over parts), the temps, fully loaded, stayed just under 50C.

I wonder if this combo can get to 4.+GHz cheaper:
Core i3-540 + Biostar TH55XE

I don't think there would be much gained from the i3-540, but I don't know for sure. The i3-530 overclocks very well.
