I am thinking of upgrading my cpu to a 4200 since the retail version is £87 delivered it seems the best value for money, how well do these cpus overclock generally?

Look to do quite well from what i've heard! :)

My 3800's at 2.5ghz 24/7 with no problems. The 3800 has a 10x multiplier so i run some PC4000 ram at stock (250mhz) which gives a very simple and effective overclock. The 4200 has an 11x multi so with the same ram i'm sure it would happilly sit at 2.75ghz with a decent air cooler or water!

Put it this way - i've been very tempted! It would be a very cheap upgrade! :cool:
