err.. wats the point? improvement in super pi doesnt mean jack in real world applications...u want to overclock coz u wan the PC to be faster for ur usage. unless all u care about is the size of ur e-penis la...
i OCed mine to 3.0...didnt feel any improvement, didnt see any improvement...reverted back to stock... and turned on EIST. SAME performance but save power...lesser heat...etc etc.
Proc speed is only one component, the amount of cache on the proc is also important. The I/O speed is also important. In fact it's pretty much all about cache if all you do is surf. For DTP etc. the best thing is lots of RAM -- you can see a huge difference if the OS doesn't need to swap in and out a lot. i OCed mine to 3.0...didnt feel any improvement, didnt see any improvement...reverted back to stock... and turned on EIST. SAME performance but save power...lesser heat...etc etc.
It makes a slight difference in beta Flash/PhysX software PPU games, where they have not optimized the code yet. In the real world though, people don't optimize apps for OC-ed procs
PS. 50% is nothing, I can get 100% on my E2140 for what it's worth
