ah, nice. Thats a 45 nm quad, right? Just making sure its not gulftown. If I am correct, You should expect about the same as any other recent i7, give or take. I assume it is D0?

So if it is a good ocer, you may be able to get 4.2 or a bit more. Might be bit easier with lower QPI VTT due to higher multi, so dont need as much blck to get there. Other than that, I would say its pretty much just another bloomsfield. Good luck! Here is to 4.3 or higher!
