    Can you overclock a Dell?

    Yes, and no. You can't overclock the using the bios because it is locked. However I remember there being pin-mods available that raised the fsb and therefore the clockspeed. I don't know if it works with newer Dell's though. I'm thinking maybe you can do a pin-mod to raise the fsb up to...

    How long are your overclocked amd pocessors lasting?

    My Venice is still running fine after a year, and a half at 2.8ghz 1.6v.

    Opty 165 temp help.

    The chip I feel overclocks fairly well. I did get a 3.0ghz validation screen on 1.4v before temps crashed the system. I feel that if I get the temps under control I should be able to get the system stable at around 2.8-2.9 though.

    Opty 165 temp help.

    I'm starting to believe there is something wrong with this chip. When I first got it the IHS was so bad that it would hit the high 60's while dual priming at stock volts/clocks. Once I finally popped the IHS off I'm still having trouble keeping temps below 50c at stock. Tested with muliple...

    They got pretty close with the P4 3.8ghz.

    Core 2 Duo Benchmarked *real world

    Read the thread title. They tested real world performance. Benching Quake 3 at super low resolutions is not something you would do in the real world.

    My $5000+ Upgrade.. Come look inside.

    DX10 isn't around the corner. Vista won't be released till well into next year. To me Vista looks more and more unappealling by the day anyway. XP forever. I'd say it is only worth it to wait for Conroe.

    AMD Plans Major CPU Price Drops Day After Conroe

    I will take 2 cores over 200mhz. Honestly I don't need an increase in gaming performance. All I play is Source at 14x9 my current rig has no problem running that. Mutlitasking though is complete trash; alt-tab usually locks up my system. Dual core will change that. $169 X2 is well yummy. All...

    Conroe: We're !!

    That's the truth behind almost everything. Unless you run time dependant apps (rendering, encoding, etc..) you won't notice much of a difference. Dual core would be much more of a upgrade to me than a couple of extra fps will. Although, Conroe gives me both. I don't think Presscot running...

    Worth it to go from AMD 3800X2 to Conroe?

    I would upgrade. Conroe is 20% faster at the same clockspeed. You would see a tremedous improvement if you bought the 2.4ghz Conroe. Easily 30%

    How quick is a 1.66GHz "Core Duo" (aka Yonah)?

    You heard wrong. Yonah doesn't have 64bit. Merom will of course.

    3500+ venice showing in cpu as a manchester with dual core stepping?

    lucky you. My Venice needs 1.6v for that speed.

    Overclock= Slower

    I thought 62C starts throttling? Either way that is pretty damn hot. PI doesn't do much for my max temps. Prime it and watch temps.

    One of the cores is disabled.
