Err, what? Non-Gen3 version here for £146.99? http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MB-051-AK

Or have I missed something?

sorry, was a typo, i meant to say about £145.

i was then explaining that the £10 difference was worth it for the gen3 version

sandybridge processors can do a huge amount more work per clock than intel processors. check out this benchmark:

Hate to be pedantic here, but a Sandybridge processor IS an Intel processor...

And yes, you can do MUCH better than the original spec for that much money!

Yes. 4GHz is a piece of **** though. Bumping votages to 1.2 and over, I don't know... I'd get something more sturdy in that department.
