No I don't think dropping I think that when Kryotech started selling the 1GHz machines, AMD's top of the line was 750MHz. So they obviously have to say that they are overclocking 750MHz parts. However, the industry rumor is that AMD can raise the Athlon's clock speed without breaking a sweat. Also, AMD is working with Kryotech on these 1GHz machines. I wouldn't be surprised if AMD has been giving Kryotech specially sorted processors that run > 850MHz without special cooling. >the temp 40 degrees will get anywhere near that. Otherwise we would be up to >our armpits in such machines. Even new crays still use air-cooling. Reckon >they would take advantage of that if it existed? Maybe. I was just reading about what Kryotech has done to avoid condensation, and it seems very involved and high-tech. They're definitely not just connecting the processor to a 'fridge. Maybe Cray didn't want to spend its time designing all of this stuff on its own. -Tom
