Uh. so you won it, then ask for advice? What if you don't like our advise, are you going to just not go ahead with the purchase?

Depends if it is a L2 stepping or a M0 stepping.
Every chip also OCs differnt than other chips, so the exact mhz is hard to say. It also has to deal with user-defined safe voltage. Some of us like using higher voltages and others like stock volt OC and everything in between. Also, it depends on your mobo and ram.
However, saying all that, expect anywhere from 3.0-3.6ghz?

all the E4300 are L2 steppings, when intel let the E4400/E4500 out is when the E4300 went EOL. that means not stepping update or ect...
imo for $80 its not bad since you can oc it to around 3.2ghz for 24/7 with good cooling and on water you might get 3.3-3.4ghz stable.
