Not exactly an overclocking question, but possibly related to
overclockability (if there is such a word).
I just noticed what seems to be a strange pricing aberration on both MWave
and Newegg, so it's consistent.

So, what all does this mean to the OC crowd?

While finally close to rock stable my latest upgrade/rebuild hasn't gone
too well and am coming to the conclusion my P5N32-E SLI may be to blame
(almost everything else has been swapped/replaced or removed).  Anyhow...
Components are :-

I took my E6600 out yesterday for my son's build and installed the
Q6600. I took it right to 3Ghz on stock voltage (1.24v). It was very stable
there so I went right up to 3.3 and had to raise the Vcore to 1.3v. This is
where it got interesting. Going above 3.3Ghz the chip started ...

Ok, this is my first time overclocking anything when it comes t
computer components. However, I built this computer to be overclocke
(This is why I bought water cooling). I chose this water cooler becaus
of a review I read on TechPowerUp.com.

I have a greenhouse which gets very hot during the day and gets very
cold at night. I have an idea to fill some plastic drinks bottles with
a phase change material, paint them matt black and stack them in the
greenhouse and so even the temperature throughout the 24 hours.

Ok, here it is: I have an Athlon XP 2500+, which I overclocked by changing
gradually bus speed from 366 up to 400. Everything worked well, until I've
checked CPU Temperature reported or by BIOS or by Everest...
I have Idle temp around 88 C !?!?

iv judt got my new pc with a single core 4000+ at 2.6ghz.my idle temps
are around 35C and my temps after a game etc are around 40C.would i be
ok to overclock with these temps or are they a little high?
dorry im new to overclocking and if anything needs posting pics wise

amd announced quad core on one chip. In theory this should be more efficient
than 2-chip quad core like intel's.
It'd probably be a few months before anybody could get one to do a
review/comparison. But obviously AMD itself and maybe some mobo makers must

I was looking at Intel Quad core CPU's and was wondering what the real
difference is.  other than one being Xeon, which I thought was
supperior, the specs look the same and the price about the same.  Also
which one would be better for overclocking?

why 0x before most of memory addresses... like 0xFFFF FFFF
??

What's a good mobo for overclocking core 2 quad Q6600, using DDR2 ram? Is
there any advantage using P35 based board?
This is for video editing/encoding. So any type of video slot is ok (AGP
PCI-E....).

I'm planning on giving my old PC to my dad.  It's an Athlon 2100+ (oc'd to
2.1g) with 1 gig of pc3200 DDR Ram.  My motherboard can do 400mhz fsb, but
the 2100 can only do 266mhz (and I think it only has 256 L2 cache).
Would a 3000+ or 3200+ Barton see enough of a speed increase ...

I was looking to put together a C2D box, with no thought of
overclocking, when I noticed the E6600 was slightly more expensive than
the E6750.  I figured that must be because the E6600 is easily OCable,
and some googling and reading here confirm it.  So I find myself in the
