I believe that the 6400+ and the E6750 have the same performance, as I once saw on a chart on tomshardware.com, unfortunatly I can't find that chart anymore.

i own an e6750 and can vouge for its greatness. fucker is fast and you don't need to overclock unless your a speed freak. it's stock settings are fast enough. the reviews at newegg should help you out.

yes. Orthos and gaming stable. could get it to 3.6ghz with higher vcore and faster fan speed but I prefer silence.

AMD will have a tough 2008, but I think they'll manage.. After all they dominated the market for gaming for quite a while too it's just a market of losing and winning at times.
