Just went to the dark side (intel) how far have you guys overclocked your C2D's?

I just recently (yesterday) picked up an E6600 and a 5N32-E after being with AMD for years...

Gotta say this thing flies. I've only brought it to 2.81ghz right now but I was wondering what experiences positive or negative others have had overclocking their Core2Duo's and what works best/etc.

You should be able to get it to 3.2 pretty easily. 3.4 if you have a good stepping and/or tweak it. 3.6 if you're lucky.

I went back to intel about 6 months ago and haven't looked back to AMD. I have 2 e6300's, each to 3.0 (because I'm too lazy to tweak to get it any higher). I also have a q6600 at 3.0 (haven't had much time to tweak it yet).

congrats
and enjoy... I am hoping to build a box towards the end of the year

I've been on Intel side forever. Only one AMD box I have owned which was a 386/25.

That was technically intel. At the time, AMD was licenced to produce the 386 from intel. They used the same semiconductor die masks as intel used.
