Thinking I'll go cheap this next upgrade, this might fit the bill. Anyone with any resuts, or any reviews to be found?. No luck on a Google search.

i was wondering the same thing myself last night; my roommate wants me to piece him together a good, cheap, heavily oc'able rig and i'm hoping this chip will fit the bill.

i found this:

http://xtreview.com/addcomment...ping-overclocking.html

i'd definitely be fine with 3.3ghz, but that's an engineering sample.

does anyone know if the new M0 stepping will bring anything new to the e4x00 line? is this the e4x00 equivalent of the G0 stepping? or would i be fine getting any ol' e4400? if that's the case i'll just get the e4400 and hope for M0 but if it won't be a big improvement over the older stepping then it won't be too big of a deal. but if M0 is that big of a deal then i'll try to get an M0 e4400 or just get an e4500.

11x multi, 200 stock fsb, 2mb cache...this chip has all the makings for a monster overclocker, especially if that M0 stepping is an e4x00's G0 stepping. regardless, i'm gonna try to get an M0 e4400, as the 10x multi is still higher than you'd need (you could [theoretically] get that chip to 4GHz without overclocking DDR2 800).
