Over Clocking - Page 2

Overclocking? Yep done that over and over and over again with every computer i have had and i will NEVER be happy because i always want more and i never know where to stop.
Yes it makes you feel great when you get your machine running faster than its supposed to be, but after a while you think i wonder if i do this and if i do that will it make it that little bit faster? it becomes addictive, you go from overclocking your chip to overclocking the graphics card and then onto startup speeds etc, but you will never be happy. Even if you buy a better chip you will still think about what speeds you can make that one run at.
If you buy a 2600+ chip m8 leave it at that. Just remember the old saying:-
If it ain't broke don't fix it.

the lower end chips are certainly getting a lot cheaper, but 700 notes for a P4 Extreme Edition is still a lot of money and I'd want more than 3.2ghz for that sort of cash.
