Thanks, Networm. I was the one who was asking about over-clocking. That was an extremely comprehensive reply which took a lot of effort to write. Why does PII architecture make running memory faster irrelevant? Why do Tom's Hardware, Anand and others advocate over-clocking? What's in it for them - or is it just for 3D gamers without much money, muscle car (I mean, PC) guys, etc? A short answer please, so I don't feel guilty about how generous you're being to me. And no answer is fine if you don't feel like it. Thanks again, Peter

NW, I am new to this thread and definitely a low,low level pc amateur. Wondering if there is a site or book or mag that gives some sort of comparison of components in one place. MOBOs seem to have become increasingly changeable with different characteristics and benefits/drawbacks, however when a novice such as myself sees ads in papers for pc systems at different prices it is hard to compare -- especially MOBOs. Vids, soundcards, etc. get some write up but being a resource hog I haven't heard before (but concur). Anyway if you know of a resource that succintly compares components would appreciate a point. Thanks, EH
