How low wouls a dual core have to go to equal an 820?? Prbably a 3400+ (1.8ghz) model???

That's easy to measure, Duvie. Just underclock your X2, and compare the results to someone with a Pentium D.

I now can consider getting one of these, when they come down a bit in price.
I'm a bit disappointed with the OCing results though.
It seems most sites are only getting around 2.4 GHz, & usually they get cherry-picked CPUs, too.
