I ran upon a review of this processor and got sidetracked and found this Text

meh, my 3.2C works great but for gaming, only the A64 makes sense right now.

You get a P4, overclock it like crazy 'til your heatsink glows cherry red & your fans are screaming, and . . . it's almost as fast as an A64 running cool, silent and stable at stock speed.

Not really. Several Northwood 2.8Cs already make it near that region on aircooling. I don't see what's the point in publishing an article, but it's comforting to know I guess. i was hoping that it did more than that though, but if I did decide to buy a Prescott 2.8GHz and managed to get it to 3.57GHz I guess I won't be complaining.
