That's if you're bloody lucky with the chip, and don't mind putting 1.5v through it 24/7.
The comparison of ~500MHz overclocking overhead on the 2600 still holds true - 5.2GHz on air is an extreme case - 4.4-4.5 is possible on air with a 920; provided you feed it enough voltage and turn HT off and have an NH-14 or Silver Arrow.
Still - I'm tempted by an upgrade to a 2600k. It was only a few months ago that I jumped to i7 in the first place, though.
