Anyone know what stable speed i'll be able to get a E6600 up to using a DS4 board with Corsair 2GB DDR2 XMS2-6400C4 ram?

No set rules with no set Max OC's

I heard that E6600 do not overclock well with the DS4 and DS3 board but better with the asus board?

I'll find out later when my e6600 arrives.

What does seem interesting is that the Allendale spec cpu's seem to be good on the 965 chipset and the Conroe spec seem to be better on the 975 chipset. :confused:

Even more interesting is that the 2MB chips are not Allendale but are infact Conroes. Allendale have yet to be released by Intel

From the little testing I have done which was about 30 mins the 975 have lower max FSB's but that was it. Will have a play later

I thought the 2mb ones WERE Allendale's? :confused:
