Seems as stable as my BH6. Don't know why it would be any less
stable.
In another month I'll have 3 oc'ed 300a's. Two will be running in
BX6-2's, one in a BH6.

It's hard for me to tell the difference in games because in my Celeron
450 at home I have SLI Voodoo2's whereas at work in my P2-400 I only
have one Voodoo2 card. Dunno how much difference the extra card is
making other than letting me run at 1024 vs 800x600.
As for Office apps, I'd be hard pressed to notice much of a difference
between 300 and 450, and I bet other people would be too unless
they're running a benchmark program that tells them one is faster than
the other. Maybe if I had a 10 meg spreadsheet I needed to run
calculations on or something, but in average, day-to-day stuff, nah...
