compare E4 and E2 reveals interesting result (esp in games). ~15% performance.
anyway, 3.104 Ghz is the sweet spot for E2160 OC (at least with my M0 + freaking small HSF); 1.30Vcore is needed to achieve that speed only(with full stability of coz). speed higher than 3.104Ghz need exponential increase of Vcore, which isnt worth at all.

From the chart, it also shows the E8500 and QX9650 difference in game is almost none biggrin.gif

The late ones are a lot worse than the earlier ones smile.gif It's more worth it to get used Core Duo's if you want to overclock.

Since the new Wolfdales are in town, older C2D's tend to be a bit cheaper and some of them overclocks well. Perhaps you can try surf around in "Garage Sales" smile.gif

I guess hitting 3.2Ghz shouldn't have much issues with the E2160 smile.gif All the best of luck!
