    3.5ghz seems a little high with the current stockvoltages, but it might be possible
    If it's not stable that headroom is useless. C2Q processors have way more headroom that current Phenom II and you know where we are now. Also I'm currently looking for OC results in the AMD section. If you read them carefully you'll see that up to ~3,6GHz almost everyone is "stable" at stock volts. But if you keep pushing the required voltage goes through the roof with TDP and power consumption following it. Does that tell you anything?

    EDIT: Well, more like ~3,4GHz...

    Friends shouldn't let friends use Windows 7 until Microsoft fixes Windows Explorer (link)

    Pretty much. Plus, he's here voluntarily.
