I doubt most get that lucky tho. After all, overclocking is mostly luck. Some CPU's won't overclock that much long term because of either the CPU itself or some other component that can't handle the increase. When you overclock, you are searching for that weak link. Most of the time, you find that weak link. Dale :-) :-) -- I am only responsible for what I said ... Not for what you understood or how you interpreted my words!
