I also used all of my other components to build this. so my mhz is at 3066. I have about all the programs, and usually dont put any trust in this word that most here use, ELO. I respect Sarah's tournaments and the SSDF. I was only talking about upgrading one of my single processor systems. but i am going to wait on the new amd .13 micron core. i want to see what the tigers will do running on 2500mhz amd. new .13 core should have close to 2500mhz, when overclocked. kburcham
