First of all the 6 ghz wasn't stable, just a cpu-z screen. and that has nothing to do with how yours "blows away" your buddies I7. are you running at 6.0 on LN2? not saying the PII's aren't great and can't overclock (they can, at least on LN2 oc higher than i7's) but that has nothing to do with a normal home application even overclocked.How many Intel chips have you seen overclocked to 6.0GHz and be stable? Just asking...

I'm no intel fanboy, my current pc is my first intel in about 10 years, I have just yet to see any proof the PII's blow away I7 except on max overclock with extream cooling.
And actually the record cpu-z screen for the PII is actually just shy of 6.7ghz about 1 ghz above the I7 record.
Look back at the p4 and a64 days though, while you could clock a p4 to 8 ghz +- (cpu-z world records 4 of the top 5 are p4 based chips over 8ghz and the 5th is just shy) the a64 had trouble much past 3 i believe, but in real world use the a64 smoked the p4.
