cdawall is right. I got a Kuma 7750 stable at 3.4Ghz and it is only a stock 2.7Ghz chip. Getting a 700 or more Mhz overclock from a P1 is much easier that getting that much clock from a P2, and I have had just about every P2 BE chip that has been released with the exception of the 6 cores, so I do know what I am talking about. I really don't care what reviewers have to say about overclocks, I trust my own evaluations way before anyone else's.
What I find interesting is that according to your system specs your A2 is only at 3.5Ghz, but a P1 running that speed is crap and yours is great
I have built three systems for people using A2 quad cores, and in my opinion they are not very good chips. I believe the loss of the L3 cache really hurts its performance. I have a P1 9850 in my HTPC running at 3Ghz (2.5Ghz stock) using the stock AMD cooler 24/7 and it easily outpaced a A2 quad running the same speed.
Now Dent1 may be a fan of the A2 quad, and that is fine. But don't spread garbage and claim that a P1 is terrible overclocker when multiple users on this forum alone have disputed your claims.
