hey man I ran windows XP Pro on a 64 MB system for a while. Ran nice.

good test, but i would rather see examples with 3dmark, super-pi, pcmark and other benchmarks instead of just two games.

Mrps2man...it was a great work by the way...

is that because they don't want to overclock or are too timid to try something new?

nope, it's because they don't have a clue what overclocking is.

I don't think there would be a substancial difference in superpi, but 3dmark and pcmark there very well may be. also try the sisoft sandra benchies

One, for the reason Anubis stated. Two, which hardwares support warranties for overclocking? I don't know if any of them do. Three, money part. I cannot afford the extra money involved in cooling or other setups or at the same time any losses to my hardware....

So, that's that!!

I'm glad that you guys liked the mini article! I'll be sure to add some benchies sooner or later, just not now because homework is a little more important :-D For memory, both OCZ and Corsair have warranties that cover overclocking. Corsair says that you can do anything within 1.8V or below and you will still have you warranty. I don't know about OCZ...

given that they do a prioduct to boost the DIMM's voltage i wouldn't be surprised if they let it up to 3.3v

.

and 1.8v on corsair memory?? they come stock at about 2.5! did you mean 2.8v by any chance?

Anubis, you have to realize that they come stock 2.75V and that for TCCD chips you're best off between those two voltages and no higher. I've still got my warranty and my chips have done around 280MHz at the stock volts, not too uncommon. On BH5 chips, I can see that being a little problem though. lol
