Re: The systems and the process appear to be far from ready

Depends on who you talk to. This was announced by Gigabyte in a semi-public forum:

with their overclocking utility, Easy Tune 4, they were able to get a Thoroughbred 2200+ to 2.6-2.7 GHz, quite the impressive feat. If this is the norm for these chips Pentium 4’s definitely have a run for their money.

It's almost as though there is more than one type of chip being sampled. Gigabyte, in the past, has been the company that AMD contracted with to manufacture the AMD reference boards, so Gigabyte may have access to chips that differ from standard production samples.
