i dont have rev3.3, i have the 2nd one and just got my G0 today. im not gonna push it too much. right now i have it at 3ghz on stock volts. if i had a better heatsink and my room was cooler, id probably OC it some more. but im happy with 3ghz

you think I will get a descent increase of performance moving to a quad core.Going to put this cpu in my family computer

boooo gators. seminoles baby lolol (even though all 3 of my sisters are UF graduates )

as for performance increase, it depends on what the pc will be running. with multi-tasking and having alot of things open/running, you should feel a difference. i went from a E4300 @ 2.4ghz, and i can feel a difference when opening up a program and stuff and definitely feel a big difference when running Lightroom and Photoshop CS3 at the same time.

whats suprising is, im getting better temperature with my Q6600 @ 3ghz than I did with my E4300 @ 2.4 with same heatsink.
