Elmer,
Enjoy your overclocking while you can...
Intel doesn't want you to get a deal...

"By Tom Pabst

Intel

The news I have to tell is not really from Comdex, but it's most important to
many of you. The future Intel chips will put a final end to overclocking. New
Intel processors won't only come with the already common
multiplier-locking, but making an Intel CPU faster by increasing the bus
speed will also not be possible anymore. Some new circuits on the chips
will make sure that the system remains dead if you raise the bus speed
from e.g. 66 to 75 MHz or from 100 to 112 MHz."
