I am going to be grabbing one of these cpu's soon and want to know which one to get. It all depends on what the overclockability is likely to be for both. I would like to know the average for both cpu's, and whether the higher fsb of the 1.1 chip will make my system faster. My assumption right now is that a 1.2 will make it to about 130mhz, and a 1.1 would make it to 138mhz.
Both of the ppl who wrote the overclockers.com reviews seemed to get the 1.2 to pretty high fsb speeds. Generally I've gotten the impression that these speeds aren't common and I would be better off with a 1.1a.
I have had my system at 145fsb for the past year with no problems. The cooling I'm using is a PEP66 with 38cfm delta, so i don't think my system will be limiting me.
I would be buying the cpu from newegg likely so the hope for a newer stepping isn't high.
Thanks
