Ed I would rather avoid any overclocked machine, on the contrary, if stability is an issue I would underclock them! Which is the same as overprotection in chess :-) I see your tests on the CPU comparison page of your site, and I agree that faster clocks allow for faster solution on the quiz, but how much real difference does the clock do in actual play? I dont think it is worth to risk when a stable CPU (say an K6-3 450) can be used with much lower risk, and minimal playing difference. Of course it is easy to talk after the fault of the machine, but I must admit I was never seriously convinced by any overclocking. Why would anybody know better then Intel/AMD themselvs what to do of the CPU they produce and test? regards Franz
