The only thing Intel pushpins are good for is stock heatsinks. Anything else, the pushpins are just a joke.

I want to see what AMD brings to the table. If Bulldozer is powerful, yet inexpensive, I may go that route. If it's just another Phenom II, then I'll probably get myself a 2600k. Either way, I've got a massive upgrade ahead of me.

I don't have either of those, but I've got some OCZ stuff somewhere (can't remember what it's called, but it's pretty good, I think. Keeps an E8600 around 40C when folding flat out on stock air, stock speed). I've given the laptops 'names' to make referencing on forums easier, but I'm not...

Friend of a friend had a non-standard (thereby warranty-killing) BIOS for the Acer Aspire 1410. I took the risk and loaded it, and can push it a little. My highest 'stable' OC is about 1.6 out of a 1.3 chip. Any more and I'm making the chip run way too hot. I like my laptops to stay under...

I make it my point to at least squish a few uniprocessor units with a few different rigs. I have my Celeron laptop (1.3Ghz Celeron 743 ULV. I can get a little more than 1.3 from it.) and a P3 that ends up more often than not with my feet on the case (Desktop type, gets warm enough to be...
