> Hmm, I have to disagree (a little) on this one.
In my experience, as described previously, I was getting a very
significant gain in performance for very little money (price of an
oscillator chip or a fan). In those days I was getting the performance
of a CPU that might have cost anything from 50-100% more than the one
I'd paid for.
But now things are different. Last machine I built was a 1.4Ghz Athlon.
I looked at the 1gig CPU that apparently overclocked well to 1.4 but the
difference in price between the OC one and the "real" 1.4 one was
about
10% !! To OC right these days seems to require the liquid cooling,
aluminum case, expensive RAM that all makes it an economic nonsense.
That was my point really.
However, each to their own and I cam fully understand the joy of being
able to push the hardware to it's limits, especially in gaming as you
mentioned Ian.
Thanks
M.
