Nice work Big Wayne! 100% - that's awesome.
The E2*** series certainly are the chips to have at the moment.

lol! Well done Big Wayne!
The Cheapest I can see an X6800 dual core 2.93ghz (stock volts) is around £508 +P&P
(OcUK dont sell them anymore, so no moaning about mentioning prices!)
E2140 can be had for around £50 & clocks to 3.2ghz! omg!
bargain of the century!! Excellent!
I wonder what the temps would be liked if you lapped the cpu & water cooling? maybe able to push it further?

Certainly made C2D a cheap option - AMD doesnt even have that advantage anymore. When there was just the 6*** range it was an expensive choice (ram was also much more expensive)
My price for converting (after sales), a whopping £70. Performance wise its gotta be the best 70 quid ive ever spent.

MEH!
Only getting 2.8Ghz still... 1.4185v in BIOS + 100mv offset, RAM Unlinked running at 667Mhz.
See the picture above, temps are pretty low for Stock volts, sometimes they spike to 65c for a while.
Will not boot at 1265 FSB and I cannot figure out why, funny feeling this is a bad chip.

Is the 2MB cache of the E4300 worth £20 more than the 1MB cache of the E2140?
Looks like I could wrangle an upgrade for a meagre £200

IMO, yes.

is the 20 more than the 4300 for the 4mb worth it?
I was under the impression that the cut down from 2mb to 1mb has more performance impact than from 4mb to 2mb, not sure though.
If the E21*0 proved to be more overclockable than the E4*00 than it's defo the ultimate budget chip.

It stops when you've hit the bottom of your wallet.

So are we saying 3.2 tops for this chip ?
All I need now then is to pair this with a cheap motherboard

Also, AI Suite shows both cores at 100% load.
Orthos prime it for 8-12 hours thanks

@Bitto : I notice you have the p5k-deluxe... Have you tried using the voltage dampener ?
