I don't understand the need to overclock.
In today's age, why bother overclocking?

I used to back in the day, when I was trying to run MAME, or epsxe on my amd k6. But now I can even get daily builds of Dolphin to run one or two games smoothly.

UT3 runs fine with most enhancements enabled.

What programs are they running to need to overclock?

My information is too valuable. Though I do have an extensively diverse and redundant storage portfolio, I don't see the need in putting my money at risk with over clocking.

Nobody is wrong for overclocking, or right for not overclocking.

Given the need, I would overclock.

But what need? Am I missing something? Is Vista THAT bad?

Hell i understand that you purchased something that is yours and can perform better. But honestly, is it usable performance without risk?

But I do see what you mean that the INTEL 6600 is a damn good chip for about 200 bones.
I'll stick with the am2+ quads, I like the way they handle under pressure and can't wait for some new software releases from the music recording companies like adobe, nuendo, cubase, propellerhead.
