Just built my new computer
long story short, I was maxing out my old computer's (a p4 3ghz/2gb mem) resources. Was going to pick up a quad core computer, but due to delays with the mobo I wanted, I decided to go with a lower end cpu. My goal was to overclock the lower end cpu to the max and use it for a year or so and then when there are lots of quad cores available (and the prices are reasonable) I will pop out the dual core and pop in the quad.
So far I have both of my Intel Core 2 Duo E6700 cores overclocked to 3.5ghz and it is very stable (running some system stress programs at the moment).
I may go for 3.6ghz and stay there.
Will update as I progress.
