A64 4000 to an OPTY 165 or 170?

[KurTz]

Advice would be appreciated on this -

Firstly would changing my 4000 to an opty 165 or 170 be worth it? Ive got my 4000 clocked at over 3 ghz stable but I encode quite a bit of video and audio so would like to go duel core without shelling out for a new rig.

Secondly if it is worth changing, are they all good overclocker's? I know some steppings will be better than other's but Im not looking to get stupid overclocks from them, just a nice speed increase will do.

I do have access to either a 165 or 170 for a quite reasonable price which is the reason Im asking.

Thanks in advance..!!

Ordered a 165 with CCBBE stepping, hopefully with no problems.

Thanks for the advice guys!!

Superb, I'll be dropping my Arctic Freezer 64 on it, hopefully that'll do the job!
