Thnx in advance RIPSTER Click to expand... i dont think they do. i think a big part of it is pure speculation with too many variables. all it takes is 1 guy to say that it does matter, and the sheep will follow. its all about luck, stability and cooling more than anything else.

DaveB Senior Member Joined Dec 18, 2000 Dec 14, 2005 #8 Go for the 146 over the 144 due to the higher multiplier. I've a CABYE 0540 and a CAB2E 0540 that both did 3 GHz. Avoid CABGE anything.
