Elmer, Another false statement. An overclocked device is one that is operated outside the manufacturers guaranteed specifications. By your definition, AMD was shipping GHz Athlons last fall in Kryotech systems. Get serious. Scumbria

<I find it interesting that AMD has notified customers to design their future cooling for 76 watts!> That might be the reason for your following confusion: <For some reason you never mention Athlon's heat problems....> And the answer is: if you design for truly maximum specifications, you have no problem. Hence no one mentions it. In contrast, some smarty at Intel has decided to to outperfect Athlons and quoted the "typical" power consumption of P-iii as maximum. What a joke! Paul-my buddy, where are you? Did you try some little test called BURNP6 on your P-iii? users.ev1.net Try it, but check if your chip temperature is within specs :) :) Funny, I also noticed recently a funny thing when shopping for a good heat sink for P-iii-s: there are no generic heat sinks that are rated above 600 MHz!!! No wonder there are dozens of cries on Usenet that Pentiums are overheating.
