"I mean, are you comfortable knowing that lots of people just bookmarked your post there?" What do you mean? Do you mean that a miserable "boxmaker-screwdriver" and a thread moron could have some influence over making investment decisions by members of the thread? You must be giving me too much credit... Also, I tried to write in as many qualifiers as possible, "maybe", "must be", "it smells like", etc. Do you think I will be still liable<g>? - Ali

JC, "> Maybe Intel will be able to pull out a > 2.4G, but it must be a stretch Don't you think that this is an exaggeration? I mean, are you comfortable knowing that lots of people just bookmarked your post there? I know that it is not a scientifically valid point (but it lends mild credence, imho), but several of the reviews stated that the Northwood is miserably easy to overclock with air cooling, and that its clock reaches frequencies well over 2.40GHz." Just a question: I read somewhere on the web today (I don't remember where) that Northwood has been in mass production since May already (therefore, according to that article, there shouldn't be any shortages now). If that is really true could it be argued that the manufacturing process is now already quite mature? Today it seems that Northwood easily reaches 2.4 GHz without voltage modification. Higher overclocking may need some voltage increase. But if the process is already quite mature, could Ali have a point by saying that it may not be so easy to go beyond 2.4 GHz (or let's say 2.5 GHz)? Just curious. Regards, Peter
