Understandable as these CPUs are easy to overclock.

You can easily run it @4.5GHz 7/24 and safely. phew, that sounds fast, yes .... I assume the HT will do something to compiling stuff (read: gentoo-emerging everyday)? >> Yep.

I still use a C2D E6600 for everyday purposes ... but maybe I just go for the 2600k, it will be more than enough to make things fly in comparison. Stefan
