Your opinion needed on Allendale overclocking

[Duvie]

I can tell you with similar cas memory timings my E6600 at 3.2ghz can hit 14sec, but the E6300 at 3.4ghz only hit 15sec on superpi 1M...

So the above 200mhz may be correct in CERTAIN applications....more testing of multiple apps are needed..in the past gaming seemed to like the higher L2 cache amounts more...

lopri, in case you hadn't noticed, there have been a few changes in the past 16 months in the way power supplies are designed. What's in that 16 month old thread isn't exactly accurate, in today's computing world.

Could you elaborate a bit about the changes? I'd appreciate it.
