I would wait for Penryn. Unless you do some serious work, the 6300 is no slouch even at stock. Can you overclock that 6300 a bit?

The DS3 is a great overclocking board. I know next to nothing about Conroe overclocking (I am the AMD type of guy), but I know you can get some results with reasonable temps. My friend has the DS3 with a 6400 and he is chugging along at 3.2ghz.

Im pretty sure the earliest batches of 6300 were Conroes, which would make them much better overclockers. Not to mention the earlier chips overclocked better than now. What stepping does cpu-z show? B2 or L2? B2 is Conroe, L2 is Allendale. Chances are you have a very good overclocking chip.

nope, early 6300 with B2 stepping are Conroes, only later did they start coming out as Allendales

I owned a week 27 E6300 and it was INDEED an Allendale.
I'm pretty sure a 2mb L2 Cache chip = Allendale cores, not 4mb Conroe.

I just visited some other forums, and it seems the B2 is a Conroe. I saw no mention of B2 and Allendale in the same sentence. Now to hit the oc'ing!

dear god I am not going to try to re-invent the wheel here. if you don't believe me do some research you will find posts detailing which steppings are Allendale and which are Conroes. And yes 2MB 6300 WERE initially Conroes with 2MB of cache disabled.

I guess I stand corrected. Never heard of *any* e6300s being Conroe cores.

I wouldn't go around calling an Allendale a "piece of *****"
. My 4300 is doing 3.4GHz as we speak and I don't even have a good batch. That is almost 90% overclock.
