Ya I was looking into getting an Opty 165 DC and OC to 2.75 maybe, but it wont fit my budget in june...I don't have that stuff yet! lol. I dropped back to the 148 and dropped the 2nd gig of ram. a 148 at 2.9GHz should still OWN a DC at 2.4GHz wouldn't you say? Even with your DC patches in FEAR and what not....If DC for gaming really catches on and makes a huge difference in high graphics I'll upgrade afterwards. But DC for now is too much $$$ for too little use.
