bah dont buy AMD. i used to love them but for the price of that 5000 you can easily get an e2180 that will overclock to like 3ghz on stock cooling. and 3ghz for an intel blows 3ghz from an AMD out of the water.

Did I say anywhere that I planned on overclocking my new build? Unless you are going to be paying for what I'm getting -I'm getting my components for my reasons--not yours.

Nah, it really depends on luck. I wasn't able to get my E2160 stable @ 3.0GHz with AC Freezer 7 Pro. It's easy to say "get a E2xxx and OC it to 3GHz or more with stock cooling!!" but really, it always depends. :)

well yeah some are definetely hit or miss but my e4500 (same exact core) hits 3ghz no problem, on stock cooling. so im not just saying it because its a fad, mine did it. no voltage increase, just fsb.

Lol, already tried it. According to Fraps, which idk how reliable it is, with the res. at 1440X900, (Monitor limitation) and everything else set to max, i average out at 65FPS somehow.

no way. not even triple SLI ULTRA's could do that!

or maybe because your using a smaller resolution... do you have any AA?

AA is at the max it can be at. EVERYTHING is maxed out to it's full potential. Idk, maybe it's just Fraps being stupid. =/ Although I noticed no lag during the game at any point.

My 3DMARK06 score was 22374 if that says anything.
