Ive been researching the 2.4c and 2.6c for quite a bit, and im going to be buying one of these within the next couple weeks for my new system. Im going to be using a Abit IS7-E motherboard, Corsair XMS 3200 2x256 ram, SLK-900U Heatsink with a Thermaltake Smart Case Fan II, and a 450W PSU. I know both of these chips are able to break 3.0ghz with ease. But which cpu is best for oc'ing and for overall value? Ive read/seen mixed stories on both, 2.4c needs higher bus, 2.6c hits 3+ easier because of the lower bus increase, etc. But i need to see peoples opinions overall, benchmarks, links and so on. I know the 2.4c is $50 cheaper then the 2.6c, so thats a plus. So please post some cool information, im dying to know details from users of each of these cpus. Thanks.

get the right ram, and hopefully a good 2.4 C and you could hit 300fsb....some got it on abit-usa.com, on air!!
But since you're using pc3200 i'd just get the 2.6C and settle for 3.25 (250fsb), not sayin that 300fsb cant be done with the 2.6C, its just that i havent seen it:D
