those 4300's look good too (higher multi than 6300), therefore o/c fsb to 1066(6 series c2d default) and voila, fast cpu with less stress on motherboard, however the price is too close to 6xxx c2d at the moment, but thats cause they only just been released, where 6xxx have had time to drop to a low price
