wud a 4500+ when overclocked, beat a 5600+ which is also overclocked
In chip magazine, I saw amd 5600+x2 rated two points higher than e4500 on stock........
though it still costs 6k against e4500 4.9k, i m still feeling guilty of not opting for 5600+ and any OK type of motherboard costing approx 4.2k to 4.8k(like gigabyte ga-ma78gm)

yeah as such thr is no difference in overclocking abilities and performance....but if u are new to overclocking then pro is good for its ezcmos switch and led display....

when oc'd the E4500 performs better than a X2 5600+.u can oc a E4500 to 3.6Ghz if u know wat ur doin.and @ 3.6GHz the E4500 give one hell of performance.
u hav made the rt choice by buying the E4500.

find bios updating utility on your motherboard driver CD..most propably all mobos even the cheaper ones will have one such as a part of driver cd package..

bios flashing ultility is on mobo driver cd.
