    @Chri$ch ... I thought it was impossible to overclock o 920 !!! I did read a lot of people recently saying that there is protection against OC ... WINK WINK ... (kidding)
    Main stream people will enjoy their Core i7 920 at 2.66Ghz, but here, that 's a lot of fun.

    All of you, feel free to post feedback on any article speaking about OC protection on 920/940.
    you ll figure out as well that 940 OC better ... :-)

    I'm hoping to get my first Extreme CPU soon. I'm still not certain, but if everything goes well, and I don't run into any unforseen expenses I should be able to oder it on release day which is supposed to be the 17th from what I've been reading.

    I also want to put it on a topline board, with high end RAM (3x2GB), and will run it stock for awhile to make sure everything is working as it should, then will clock it on air, and then will install my water loop, and see aht she will do.

    My machine will be used for Flight Sims, and some FPS shooters, Folding, Video editing and encoding, as the hub for my home network, benching, running rocket motor flow simulations and design tools, music editing for video stuff, and may even be used as a game server if they upgrade to Fiber out in the black hole of a town that has been twice removed from technology.

    It will take me a bit, and i do wanna do things slowly and methodically, but can't wait to see what it will do when OC'd. I also can't wait to put it online and help my Fighter Ops Folding @ Home Team. I'm hoping for 8-10,000 PPD with a single GTX280 on GPU client and multiple instances of the Beta CPU client.

    This machine will be my world dominator. It will have to do it all.
