The price of computers is so low that if you blow your motherboard it will only cost you $300.00 or so to replace it. If your computer is under warranty then overclocking will void the warranty. I would never recommend to anyone to go out and try overclocking because I could be sued for bad advice. If you don't mind risking your chips and want to livee dangerously then neither I or ICD will be held liable. Mr. Gupta is correct in saying that these chips become obsolescent rapidly ie. in two years actually. His line of reasoning is sound. On the other hand I would listen carefully to Dr. Hyatt . It is better to be safe than sorry. Tim Frohlick
