I would love to get the XFX Black Edition 1000MHz overclocked but they look like they will never come to the US plus they will be too much. To be honest I will prolly get whatever is cheapest that isn't factory overclocked. Hopefully when the 58XX's come out the 49XX's will drop a good $25 or so.

Whats a balanced gaming benchmark test? I hear Crysis benchmark isn't all that indicative of performance. Anybody run it at 6ghz?

Balanced Gaming benchmarking test? hmmm...Actually real games do not benefit from CPU OC @ high resolution and mostly benefit from video card overclocking,

The guys doing the AMD PII demos last december were running crysis bench at 6+ghz. It was cool to see, but not much of a point to it

I have found running between 3.6-4ghz is usually best for what I have done. Anything above that has netted marginal gains at best, and usually nothing performance wise I would ever see.
