Well i understand that overclocking sounds tempting, espacially with the low-end intels. But people forget that OC can kill a CPU. Maybe not immediately, but i don't believe a 200% oc'ed CPU will last forever. I remember that the AMD Durons some years ago have had good OC-potential, too. I've read articles about people who could OC their durons from 700 to 1400 Mhz, but guess what, after 6 months even with good cooling the CPU was finished. And i'm not even talking about the higher power consumption, the random application-errors, bluescreens, whatsoever.

Rodney takes the E4300 processor from Intel and does some overclocking in the 3DGameman forum. This processor comes clocked at 9x 200FSB (800QDR) for a 1.8GHz speed. It has 2MB of cache and just begs to be overclocked. Some people have reported 3.4GHz + with this processor so it will be interesting to see where Rodney gets his.
