... of 3.4 GHz compared to the 3.2 of the 260. a good feature about the black edition is that you can change the multiplier over the default setting instead of only being able to decrease it from the stock setting. A word of warning with this CPU if you are planning on overclocking with the front side bus don't forget that it increases the memory clock as well so you should make sure that both of these run stably not just one or the other.
