I have been looking around, and it seems pretty hard to get a fsb to 500mhz, do I have bragging rights? It prime 95 stable for a couple hours so far. On air

Depends on your motherboard.

500 is fairly easy on good P45s especially with E0 CPUs.

4ghz is pretty normal for a E8400.

Theres a difference between a screen shot before it crashes and a prime95 stable system.

I had a E6300 at 1.86ghz that ran 3.5ghz at stock voltage on air that ran 24/7 for 2.5 years on a $80 mobo and I just sold it for $50.

Now thats bragging rights.
