Actually we were talking about overclocking to 3.2ghz. No voltage is way lower in this chip like 1.25v. I've got a 5.7 rating in Vista, and I'm pretty happy with that.
Thanks all for the feedback and suggestions (except for Fast, fuck you). Yeah I didn't get the BEST setup out there, but I wanted something that will at least last a couple of years, I'm sick of upgrading every year (or am I?). I haven't taken the OC up yet to 3.2 as I'm still working on Vista...
And now I've come to the inevitable conclusion that I need Vista 64, so it will probably be a couple of days before I can clean up the garbage after installing. *sigh*
Thought I would let everyone know why... it's SYSTEM UPGRADE TIME!!
OK well not everything, just the motherboard, processor, and RAM

Hey guys, don't have a home anymore so thought I would drop in over here and say hi. I am into COD4, 2142, BF2 SF/EF/AIX, and others. Was a head admin for 2142 servers over at Merlincats Funhouse. At one point, Merlincats was a big deal and I was an Executive Controller (whatever that meant)...
