    The 146 is 2.0GHz.

    2.8GHz depends entirely on your motherboard, as a 144 will need to be able to do 310MHz+ on the HTT for 2.8GHz. I know for certain mine can't do 280+ (ASUS A8R32-MVP), but my 146 won't go over 2.7 24/7 stable anyway, so I'm not fussed.

    Basically, if you really want the MHz, go for the 146 as a safer bet with its higher multiplier. Otherwise, you'll have to ask yourself whether the extra 200MHz or so you'll probably get out of it is worth the wait and/or price difference.
