Cheap Processor overclocked to 4 GHz

http://www.tomshardware.com/2006/05/...res/index.html

Is this the new overclocker's favorite?

I read some of the pages and it appears that motherboards which allow this kind of overclocking are few in number, it requires a beefy power supply, and DDR2 RAM.

Can't help but smile at something like that.

/me waits for the gust of wind from the AMD folks who have something bad to say about it.

I read that article a few days ago when it came out. It's a pretty nice setup for around $750.

I like AMD but thats cause i like cheap and fast. This is cheap and fast so i definitely like it.

in a couple weeks, there will be an amd and intel living side by side in harmony

Gasp...

Hmm water cooling? is that hard to do? probably should just leave it clocked at like 3.6 or 3.8 ghz and skip it?
