Well P55 is simply not an overclockers platform unless you spend soo much on the motherboard you'd be better served with an X58. Also patience for finicky stability is a must as what's linx/prime stable today most likely will not be tomorrow after a cold boot. Being that Intel is shoving even more onto the cpu package with P65 it will be worse if anything.
Because of that added with far better motherboards for the money AMDs effort are the only one to consider at the $200 mark. Better stepping is just icing on the cake. Core i7 1366 is godly, without peer and finally we can buy pride worthy X58's for under $200, but it cost as it should.
Yeah so not really an AMD fan. Back in the k7, k8 and p4 days I really did not have a choice. Intel was a joke trying to hide their true prodigy (p3 architecture) from the masses in favor of the ugly princess netburst. However it was a no brainer to ditch AMD when Core 2 came out and me being a 939 owner, was left needing to start anew anyways. Every build i do for people with 'budget' and gaming is all AMD/ATI though, with the odd G97 thrown in time to time.
