Pros: Easily overclocked to 3.24ghz on stock voltage/heatsink/fan. It's probably capable of more, but for now I'll settle for ~.6ghz. Multiplier is unlocked (6x to the default 10x).

Cons: Not specific to this processor: I hate installing these intel cpu coolers. It's just an uneasy feeling to press down so hard to snap it in.

Overall Review: This was a huge upgrade from my 3800+ x2. World of Warcraft runs very smooth in Shattrath, and I can go overboard with addons finally. Fallout 3 runs well on medium settings, even though I have a 3 year old video card. Sorry, I don't know if it will run Crysis. Other components: 1066 ddr2, asus p5q se/r, 7800gtx, Seagate .10 and .11's, intel nic.

Pros: It's a fast drive and improved my desktop and gaming experience.

Cons: It failed on me at the worst time possible: the day before Diablo 3 launch. The motherboard won't recognize it after a year of use.

Overall Review: I'll no longer purchase OCZ products. This isn't the first time I've heard of their drives failing. Don't get fooled by the benchmarks on other sites.
