the worst overclocking can do is possibly limit the life of your
overclocked parts. lets see i have a athlon 700 clocked to
805. my memory is set to 153. that means that my memory
and processor wont last the 10 years its suppposed to
maybe only 5. can u imagine where amd and linux will
 be in 5 years. i think i will using a hammer at 4.5
gig. with some kind of new memory that has no latency at all.

maybe we'll be accessory our operating systems with our
minds after all
