e6750 - What's your OC? (and should I Upgrade from e4300?)

Since the e6750 is only $211 at Newegg (minus $20 Paypal rebate = $191 ), I am looking at upgrading my e4300 system to this. My e4300 is running happily at 3.15GHz (PC #2 in my sig). I'd assume the e6750 would leave it in the dust? I think the 4MB of L2 would also be a benefit for my "low Latency" Audio requirements (this PC is used strictly for Audio Production with a 52-Channel RME Soundcard)

What is your e6750 running at? I'm mainly looking for comparisons of Air Cooled setups (I'm running an older XP-120 in this rig)...

Thanks!

3.6G 450 bus 1800 FSB stable. Can get up to 475 bus but crahes no matter what I try. Either Mobo or chip limiting. Not ram.

400MHz above my $100 e4300 makes it a tough call IMO. I'm fairly certain the extra L2 would help my application, but I might just have to say "no" for now (and that is VERY hard for me to do - I'm way OCD with my purchases ).

I guess I'll wait for Penryn, and upgrade my main rig later this year. Then I can hand the e6600 in PC#1 to my PC#2 DAW (only 50MHz faster, but I'll have the 4MB of L2 in the DAW). And sell the e4300 (or build a C2D rig for my parents).

Thanks for your input, and I welcome any other e4300/e6750 comparisons. That $20 Off Newegg/Paypal coupon is really nagging my brain to BUY SOMETHING!!!!! So hard to resist...

It got me..an e6750 is coming my way!

. Let us know how it does. I'm still so darn tempted! Maybe I'll cave by the end of my shift, and order one

Anyone else care to toss in their thoughts? $191 e6750 upgrade for an e4300 system (PC#2 in my sig). Worth it? Or wait for Penryn?
