The 4200+ is going to easily do 2.65 ghz, all you do is throw in the 333mhz memory divider, and up the FSB to 240, and lower the HDT ratio to 3x. Now, how much voltage this will take is the question. My best guess is no more than an extra .05V, which should be well within reason.
The higher multi and nice heat sink make the 4200+ a no-brainer upgrade for ~$25 over the 3800+ x2.

Doesn't the 4200 & 3800 both come with the same heatsink?

Actually its the 27th.
Sorry, I thought there was something about August in there. Gotta love quoting from memory
Glad you got the date though.
Intel Core 2 Extreme processor based systems and boxed product are expected to be available on the day of launch, 27 July. Intel Core 2 Duo processor based systems and boxed product [through places such as Newegg] are expected to be available from 7 August. Each OEM has their own product introduction / transition cycles based upon their target market segment and current product offerings. We expect some to offer product in August with more introductions extending through September. Check with the OEMs of your choice to get their specific message on system availability.
