You spend so much time trying to improve the performance of your computer, I wonder how much you actually take advantage of its performance. I am so bored with people talking about their 2.2GHz machines and how great they are. Especially when all these fuckers are doing is going on AOhelL and playing games.
Overclocking is great, but at what cost. You must believe that the tolerances of a processor exist for a reason. I hardly believe that the only difference between a 1.6GHz processor and a 2.2GHz processor is the mutliplier.
But hey man, you've probably got some super duper fan that keeps your shit at the right temperature, so everything is all good. Except for the fact that you are fogetting where that extra heat that necessitates your kick ass fan is coming from.... you are working the hell out of the circuitry in your processor because it wasn't designed to run at that speed.
In the end, what the fuck do I know? I've got a 1GHz PIII, and I'm happy with it. Of course the latest games run like dog ass on it, but that's why I have PS2, FOR FUCKING GAMEZ!!!!
