Um what?

No they are not buggy and slow.

The bug you are thinking of is hard to actually replicate and most modern boards will compensate.

Slow? You silly or something? If you can get rid of the heat it is possible to get them to 3.0 Ghz..

The problem is heat. The AMD quads make a good deal of it before OC even.
