I love my E2160 combined with an MSI Neo2-FR. Running it now at 2.4 but did reach like 3.4 with stock cooling before becoming unstable. Seeing how I really only surf the net and play older games, 2.4 works perfectly for me. I would certainly recommend to anyone wanting to build a low cost mosheen!

Wow that's great man, 3.4GHz on stock cooler? You should go ahead and get an aftermaker cooler and stay above 3.0GHz.

After all, I got mine stable (or is it?) @ 3.0GHz. I haven't had problems for days. I've played COD4 for hours and nothing happened so I guess its cool now.

Darn it! I got a system freeze after about 2 hours and a half of COD4. I lowered the FSB a bit, see if that fixes it.

That does not mean anything. A game may not give a continuous 100% load on the processor.

Yeah, I totally agree with you from a technical standpoint. It seemed pretty stable with no problems after a few days, but you wouldn't actually know unless you really stressed it for a few hours or overnight. Therefore, agreed.

Oh I ran ORTHOS for about 8 hours with no errors/warnings. Ran memtest and no problems either. Call of Duty 4 two hours and it crashed!
