OT: over clocking

[dmm]

I'm simultaneously impressed and LOL! Thanks for the link. Some selected funny quotes from the article:

"We used a copper bowl on top of the CPU and poured some LN2 into it. "

"BTW, Quake 3 Arena was quite fun to play when the CPU was running at 3500MHz! o_O "

BTW, a recent NYTimes article talked about how advances in chip design are making the community confident of achieving 10 GHz CPUs right in line with Moore's "Law" -- that is, within about 5 years. The bottlenecks nowadays are mainly the bus and the memory, for most apps.
