|  AM2 6000+ Nice!
Price is for dirt on newegg! $169!! Blew my 4200+ right out of the water. Runs a little hot 53 C but I only use a Thermalite Passive heatsink (no cpu fan at all). I'll be installing the stock heatsink/fan tonight and hopefully that will drop the core temp a bit. I will 3DMark06 this system later tonight with my new EVGA 8800gts 320 installed. Not a performance monster like the E6750 but it was cheap and is very impressive. I keep hoping AMD will get back in the game!!!!

Watercooling kits are pretty expensive, much more pricey than air cooling, and you have to taylor it to you pc and case. The good thing is its much better than air cooling, but the main drawback is the price. You might be able to get that opty over 3ghz on water.

well so far i have my opty at 2.6 without raising the volt. I ran otthose for about 8 hours and it posted no errors.
I havent noticed much diff from stock speeds, So i guess im not gonna bother with water cooling.
Im planning on building anoter pc, or wait till the 9 series card come out.
I pretty much want a quad processor and a gfx card that will run the new games taht are coming on on max graphics with no lag at all.
(crysis,COD4,nfs,madden,fifa,half life2,etc).

Is it worth it?
well, that depends.
Watercooling usually costs a significant amount.
