I'm always hearing about "OC ur processor man, dude do it, get more power" or "omfg oc ur piece of shit to get awesome speed man, dude!" So ofcourse I OC'd my 2.4c to 3.2ghz, with 1:1 ratio on the FSB (Corsair 1gig XMS) So I'm smooth'n along play'n some games, do'n some different photoshop stuff.....but I'm wondering if it really has an effect on my machine...I mean it "seems" like my photoshop stuff renders .4 seconds faster....or my games are a few fps faster. But what I'm getting at is, i wanna know what Overclocking has done for you, and do you think it's worth the extra stress on ur system, instead of maybe just letting a 2.4 be a 2.4 and just save money for your Ultimate dream system every 2 years....thoughts
 
in the world of the internet and computers,

the higher your specs are the bigger your balls are.

i've always believed you overclock when your budget doesn't allow you to upgrade.
 
overclocking my cpu/video card get me from a 17000 to a 20000 in 3dmarks01.

i REALLY wanted my 2.4 to hit 3.4 just so i could say i have a 1ghz overclock. my cpu's running 41% faster now too :D i still have yet to come close my personal best of a 72% overclock with a celeron 600@1035, with golden orb cooling it :D
 
Squeezing the last bit of performance out of machines is a common thread amongst enthusiasts, regardless of the machine--be it a automobile, a bicycle, or a computer. Chasing every last MHZ may not be your cup of tea, but surely you must have a hobby where you're tweaking the hell out of something?
