Well the thing is it comes stock a 2.0GHz and my 3000 was only 1.8GHz. This means (potentially) I'll be able to get a higher overall clock speed with my ram running at the same max speed. I'm hoping to be able to get it to 3.0GHz but definetly not counting on it. I'll be happy with something around 2.7 or 2.8 because that extra 200MHz really won't make that much of a difference in most applications.
