I've had it running at 3.5ghz since about a month after i built it and its never put a foot wrong.

You can get a lot for your money if you know where to look and build it yourself, its pretty easy as long as you check the components are compatible..much like building bikes.

Not sure how it compares at todays prices though, but they've normally got some good deals on.
