I overcloked my friend Cleron from 2.4Ghz to 2.8Ghz and it was faster.Than i overlocked my Intel D820 from 2.8 to 3.5 and i feel the deference.I think with good cooling and clockable processor the olny logical conclusion is to overclock.

Personally, I don't overclock. I have a Pentium III 800 mhz, and I think it would see little benefit from overclocking. Even if I had an AMD, I probably wouldn't overclock it until the warranty expired, and that's ONLY if I need the extra speed. I don't see any use overclocking if there is no need to do so in the first place, and I don't think it's wise to take a risk while the CPU has a warranty.

Anyway, that's just me.

I overclock my cpu athlon64 3000+ 2.0ghz now i is working at 2250mhz. I don't use any expensive cooling systems. I use the stock fan.

Well mine is new, not that good but its under warranty...
I'm a little paranoid about frying the processor too... so i prefer to work with it using the usual clock or a lacky clock to avoid thermical increases.....

Ive never really bothered to overclock. Its just not really worth the effort. I prefer a stable PC over one that could possibly have more problems.

Hi All
For now no need to overclock, cause no time yet.Maybe need extra hardware and cash to play with this things.

I have overclocked my Altholon 1.3 Ghz to 2.1 Ghz Its still running

I have overclocked in the past, only for experimentation and learning. If I were a gamer, it might make sence. When you run linux, unless of course you are dealing with resource hungry graphics programs, there is really no need. One of my boxes runs Ubuntu on an old 1Ghz AMD and it runs faster than my roomates 2.6Ghz XP box. I truely believe that MS has a deal with hardware companies to greatly increase the needed harware requirements with each OS/Office release to keep the hardware companies in business. Bill Gates is the devil.
