Is max POST speed related to max stable speed?

I have always wondered this, especially now that I have two Northwoods on my hands (1.6A and 2.26B). The 1.6A comes within 5% of the 2.26B in the max posting frequency--both chips max out around 170fsb (so 1.6A can post around 2.7ghz and the 2.26B can post around 2.85ghz at most, both using default 1.5Vcore which really means 1.55V in Asus-speak). I do NOT intend to increase voltage any higher because of heat.

From these results, I am tempted to keep the 1.6A and resell the 2.26B, but I want to hear your advice first!

The relationship between the two is that your max Stable speed will probably be less than your max POST speed.
Only way to decide which chip is "better" is to see which one can maintain stability at the higher speed.
