Some folks are having good luck with some 2.8E's apparently. Not too hot and overclock well.

LOL....good point. I would spend my energy getting a M0 2.8C (SL6Z5)....I'm getting one soon (shipping from Switzerland :clock: )

Sold my D1 stepping 2.8C to some chump on Ebay for full price, only costing me ~$10 to upgrade to M0.....I'm hoping to reach 260FSB (~3.65ghz)

once the prescott gets over 4ghz the p4c gets put to sleep

i've seen about 10 people online who have post benchmarks (maybe 3 or 4 on air) that hit 4ghz with prescotts
most seem to say d0 stepping in their posts
guess it's stepping 4 (mine is 3, refered to by slxxx)

most seem to have trouble hitting 3.6ghz let alone 3ghz without overheating (hehe)

Yeah I've seen it. I can make 20th there with my AMD 64 3400+. I see there is one Northwood behind me with 3.8+ GHz. So nothing short of 4 GHz Prescott for me. Anything lower than 4 GHz is just not impressive to me. And my AMD 64 is good for everyday use, meaning it isn't just one time benchmark.
Northwood C is just out of my interest now.
