Joe, Despite of this, a guy who goes by name bunny managed to overclock Athlon to I believe 1.38 GHz

IIRC this was with liquid nitrogen or something like this (and wasn't it 1.55 GHz?). Speaking of special cooling: What's become of the Kryotech system? Didn't they intend to sell 1.6 GHz in early November? Or couldn't they get enough AMD 760 boards? I couldn't access their site to get new information.

BTW, a German hardware site which sells "pretested" overclocked Athlons said that out of 20 1.0 GHz parts only 1 could go up to 1.25 GHz (the current limit of the multiplier setting). However, most can fairly easily overclock to 1.1 - 1.2 GHz. So I think this is, at least for now, the ceiling for the clock speed.
