I'm saddened to hear that the CAB2Es are not as good as the NEs. Hopefully future batches will be good if not better. Yeah, CABNE is thee most sought after Opteron around.

Most Opterons now are the CAB2Es, which still can get around 2.5GHz. I have a CAB2E 144 and i got it to 2.7 on stock cooling, and then windows couldn't handle it, but the processor and the ram were still fine. This was also on stock cooling. The CAB2E stepping is fairly hit and miss, though, so you shouldn't expect too much. I think you are thinking of the CABNE, which is the stepping that overclocks the best.
