How hard would it be to hit 4ghz on water?

If you already have a Phenom 2 at 3.7ghz, you'd be chucking cash out the window, unless you just want to say your machine runs at 4ghz..
What kind of memory do i need to run with the E8500? DDR2 1066?
You need the board in my sig if you're going with an e8500, then get some DDR2-1066 and you'll be set for some silly-high FSB action. 8x533 was cake with my setup; probably will head to ~8x550 before I call it good enough.

If you can swing it, I'd get an e8600 too. They come up on the classies pretty often for under $200. Typically proven good clockers as well.
Heh, I just ran some numbers today for kicks.. I didn't keep any, but my 1M SuperPI time was just a touch over 11 seconds.
e8600 is nice because you get the added benefit of the 10x multi vs the e8500 9.5x - just more options with a 10x multi..
oh I'll just go run it real quick - i'm on my laptop right now.
Back!
11.049 seconds to be exact for the 1M SuperPI run.
