    Does anyone have one of these? I was thinking of getting one and just overclocking, and from what I've read, if you clock it as high as any given core 2 it performs fairly similiar, a bit worse because of the smaller l2 maybe but not enough to make a noticable impact (at least in games, which is most of what I'd be doing).

    Does it overclock just as well as the core 2 chips, anyone any opinions? I was going to go cheap am2 route with a x2 4400+ (same price), but I'm leaning towards this now

    It's a crap mobo I'm using so now rather then focusing on its actual overclocking limits I'm curious as to its performance clock for clock with Core 2 Duo. Again its a crap mobo so the most I'll prob get out of it is 2.2Ghz or thereabouts, which is fine, but wondering if it'd perform similar to say a 6400 at stock - thats my main concern.
