Is the worth it?

[Benton The Race]

I am getting either a 165 or 170 very soon. I am planning on 2.8 oc's and around 2.6 for now. Is the 170 worth the extra $50 over the 165? I really need an answer soon as I want to get one before it goes out of stock.

imo, I don't think it's worth it. $50 more just gets you a multiplier of X10 versus X9. I think that the 165 is fine.

depends on your mb, though 165 to hit 2.8ghz will need 300+ htt/fsb, which some crappy mb's can't do.
