Hmm. Maybe it's just the pc's I've had then. I've only ever had an SSD on my latest build, and when I was messing around with vista/pentium 4's, I only have 5400rpm drives to mess with. So that may be the case. I just know that with how cheap computers are for various levels of power, it's...
Hmm. Well, I guess it's all to be taken with a grain of salt. Refunds were given, however statements in this post seem to be contradictory as per what actually happened. *shrugs* just shows there's always room for doubt.

That is impressive, to get your computer to boot at all at 5.1 ghz. My 2500k won't boot past like, 4.5gHz.
Well frankly, that was the case for a few windows editions in the past decade and a half.
EDIT. Btw, what chipset is used mostly for getting that high? I'm on z77.
