While I won't say 4 gig is impossible, I will say it's highly unlikely. With a 2.4C to reach 4 gig, you'll need 333 FSB, that's probably not going to happen. I think most Canterwoods will be running out of steam at about 300 FSB (yes, there might be some exceptions, but I'm talking about on average here). Considering the fact that Intel is probably "binning" the CPUs right now until production ramps up and core improvements are made, your best hope for super high clock speeds will be with the 3.0C. But, you might have better memory benchmarks using a slightly lower CPU clock speed if you have higher FSB and higher memory bus speeds. I think that any system that is able to hit 3.6 to 3.8 gig will be quite exceptional... certainly better than average. Realistically, I'm expecting about 3.3 to 3.5 gig (on average) for most of these early 800 bus CPUs. Feel free to prove me wrong though.
