I got my 4000 today, bunged the FSB up to 250 straight away, gave it 1.5v and it does 1mb pi in 29 seconds. Runs a lot hotter than my old 3200 which never really went above 34(ish) degree's, the 4000 seem's to be between 45-50

Got my 4000+ up to 3ghz, but it wasn't prime stable.
Probably cos i run my rigs extremely quiet, and all the fans have big resistors on them to slow them down and reduce noise.
I have to go for the happy medium of noise/overclock so I backed off to 2.8 and its all fine and stable.
May go for 2.9 later on, but its no slouch anyway so I'm
with it.

that's a little slow. an sd @ 3ghz should be closer to 28 seconds, which is what i get with my opty @ 2.97ghz.
OEM's are SD, Retail hit and miss, as said by someone else.
Derailing the topic here guys. Most of the replies have no relevance to the topic at hand, but i appreciate the discussion anyway.
In light of the topic, i don't think the 4000 is really going to be a huge noticable difference, and as i said before, the clocks on these chips is hit and miss, just read these forums, and some others. Not all will clock that great.
In games lately i've been keeping an eye on CPU activity and can pretty much conclude its holding me back, but in all honesty, paying £80 or so for a small performance is wasting money really. My aps run fast, my games run sweet, and i can multitask just fine, the upgrade is totally pointless in reality.
I simply wanted opinions if the upgrade is worthwhile. IMO, i don't think it now is, but thank you for contributing in the thread...
