Well it's already been a little while. I'm just sitting at a base clock of 3.2ghz right now, turbo causes it to run just under 3.4 normaly, and it *can* peak at around 3.8ghz with one core, but seems to sort of bounce back and fourth from 3.4 to 3.6 to 3.8. That's prime95 though, so a less intenssive single threaded app might stay higher. I don't know. It probably wouldn't need to, so who cares? At any rate, the idea that turbo would kick it up to 3.8 or close to 4.0 is purely theoretical, if not just plain wrong. That said, Dragon Age Origins has yet to drop below 30fps at max settings at 1080p, and often just stays locked at 60. I'm happy. Other games seem to play a lot better too that I had no idea just how CPU bound I really was. For example, Need For Speed Undercover never seemed to drop to a low frame rate, but it did sort of buck and surge. I thought it was due to whatever BS they have in the physics engine due to the absurd speads. I was wrong, it's very smooth and consistent now. Fallout 3 is a lot better, but I knew it would be. The final push to the end isn't a slide show, which is fantastic! It slows down if everything explodes in my face, but whatever.

I don't see a need to push higher overclocks any time soon. Some day, and probably with a different video card, I will. And I haven't even installed 64-bit windows yet! You guys might be right about more than 4 gigs is overkill, but I still don't care.
