Nah...why shorten the life of my hardware? I don't need the extra speed as is...it's plenty until I can't run my games where I want...then I might consider it...

Yeah, I mean each time you OC you shorten the life...if it runs to meet/exceed my expectations now, why worry about it?

You know why people do it? Cause they are getting something for free, meaning they paid for a 2.4GHz CPU but by running it at 3GHz, it is like they got a 3GHz CPU but they only paid for a 2.4GHz CPU.
People love getting the best out of their system, if you had a 10GHz CPU right now and the system was faster than your eyes/brain could process yet somehow there was a way to o/c it, some smacktards would still be o/c'ing it!
Despite how good of a cooling he might have, I doubt Star's system is any more stable than I am after a few hard drinks...

ROFL! I agree though. That's a LOT on that particular chip...but whatever tickles his fancy...

Eh...still not gonna OC. This thing is going to be around for a while....riiiiiiight...after the quad-core AMD's come out, I'll wind up with them when the price drops...oh well....I'm happy with what I've got...only thing I'd change is I'd add another gig of RAM.

You have an Athlon XP running at what clock speed? 3.4 GHz? I call BS unless you're using Phase or LN2.
