TigerDirect seems to be pushing a lot of these 95w OEM chips....

This just showed up in my email....

$99.99 for 8 core vishera!!!

That is about as tempting as it gets..... I just wonder if it overclocks worth a damn?
To even consider going with an FX8 I'd have to be able to get 4.6GHz....

3.3 at 95W? If i were in USA i 'd buy it. It's obviously low leaking chip and if i had to guess, it's of the same family as the "e". My idea is that AMD simply recognized that that retail 95W could sell and so they relabelled the older 8300s to 8320E and 8370E. I 've bought 2 OEM Athlon II x2 (AM3) and they were both fine CPUs. As a matter of fact, they undervolted too well. Can't say about overclock, but how bad can it possibly clock when it uses low voltage at start? OK, maybe it won't go to 5Ghz, but 4.6Ghz should be doable...
