well i wanted 2 wait cuz, if i bought e6320 now, and after a month i know could have got a far better processor at the same price, it'd kinda like feel bad wouldn't it?
and yeah, 1 more doubt, i have heard of OCing tools which OC from inside windows xp like clockgen and nvidia ntune, are theybetter or same as BIOS OC? are they less complicated and safer 2 use?

PS: u seem very knowledgeable about OCing, wot do u do?

I havent seen or read anybody using 650i for OCing, so cant comment much, how evet when you say they are marginally less than Intel boards....leme tell you Intel boards are the wrost OCers, they do not have ample setting to OC much infact some of the Intel boards dont OC at all. If you can spend 6K for 650i better spend thousand bucks more and get ASUS P5B-VM, its got loads of OCing options and is rock stable when used for OCing.
Now waiting for better processor as I said hardware would always be changing, and you just cant always wait for the next best. I bought 6300 with 2 MB cache then came 6320 with same same price with 4 MB cache, now quad cores would start becoming inexpensive, so should I feel bad about my proccy...noooooo..... I have OCed 6300 to even beat 6600 and its so powerfull its serving all my purpose. Todays processors are so powerfull that most of the people dont even harness half of their potential but still strive for the best......ironic..
And about your last query I know a lot about OCing just because I have a hardcore interest in computers an all I have learnt is through net and guts to try on my system. BTW I work as a system admin........
PS :: Dont use any of the utilities for OCing ALWAYS do it from BIOS, with help and research you will learn all........
