Haven't checked for stability yet but this is running with 1.25vcore on the CPU in the bios.

My initial goal was to run this thing at 3 gigahertz when I was building my system.

That's the cpu I want but haven't found the best price yet.
best I found so far was $269.

All stock cooling. Asus P5B Deluxe, 2GB PC6400 OCZ platinum rev2(there's better out there, I just bought these for the price), Asus x1950 pro(again, there's better stuff out there but I thought the price-performance ratio on these cards were great).

Hardly!!
You've got a smokin rig there Glitch... moreso than even what I would build for myself if I was going to build today.

Maybe you have a Ferrari F430 compared to his Ferrari F1 ;)

Cor2duo should be more than fast enough without overclocking.

Yeah but there is no point in getting a C2D if you won't be overclocking. might Aswell stick with AMD64.

Glitch, nice clock with stock volts no? I wish I had a decent board for my merom chip... the core2duo are quick too. :)

That's gotta sting a little :p can you benchmark and such like that? just curious as to the stablility under heavy load.

That is a pretty sweet oc man. I should start pushing my system, i've had it for 1-2 years and haven't oced it yet.
