I assume I won't be able to get 8x150=1200, but what number can I reasonably expect?

I have only tried two, but one did 8x 124MHz fsb and the other would only do 8x 112. At that point, I decided to keep going with 700E's for a while longer. :)

2 CPUS is not enough sampling to paint a full picture.

I planned on getting 700 cc0 CPUs, but the price on the 800s came down, so I figured that if they could at least hit 133fsb, I could get 1066. If they can't even get to that I guess there's no point. With what I save I can upgrade from a CD-ROM to a DVD-ROM drive. :D
Cheers,

There ya go! And if you get lucky, you may find some glorious 700E's somewhere too.
