I am really torn on if i want to fud around with all the oc'ing or if i should just get the quad core.. your results are impressive - how hard was it to get stable at those speeds?

I don't think there's a big difference in price between the e6600 and the core 2 quad.. but it looks like the quad isn't a big benefit for this as of now - i keep seeing low cpu utilization spread out - that doesn't help me rip faster! :)

The OC was pretty easy I guess. About two days work including a 12 hour bake for stability check.

The OC was done using the OEM heatsink supplied with the CPU.

I could sell you that system. =P I've since switched to a mac pro.
