Q9300 for $139... any best OCs?

Micro Center has Q9300s for $139 right now and I'm thinking of getting one instead of spending twice the money for a 9550 from Newegg (that kind of cash is a non-starter). I know the 9300 has a 7.5x multi, so my headroom would be limited, but I would really like to be able to run a couple of virtual machines concurrently, and raw clock speed isn't important to me. Just wanted to find out what results anyone has gotten from pushing them.
 
Hmm, Good question. My Q9400 had no issues getting to 3.6, however if you could push the Q9300 to 3Ghz, does it matter?
 
I've had mine for a couple of years. Great little processor really. Holds up nicely, and still handles pretty much anything I throw at it. Best I could do between two different motherboards is 3.37 and it has been stable there since I have had it.
