FYI my avatar has changed maybe 7 times in the last week alone, and what my new one sais is blunt and too the point, and also more importantly true.

So?

as for 'spamming' other threads, there is a 'report post' function you can make use off, please use this to report any spam threads you may find.

Why would I do that?

but this is exactly what i was waiting on, so thanks for that, two of the people actualy getting these 'hand outs' are the two people so far telling me that i am a thread spammer, and also that i need to 'chill out'

Am I getting one? Cool!

as for wanting one particle, that maybe true for some people, but not me, i dont have the set up for this chip too take it where i would want to go with it, nor do i really have the time. so it would be wasted on me.

That's exactly what this is all about: getting the stuff to people who have the time to push them as hard as possible. I'm really sorry for all those people who want a 4GHz stable Phenom II, but lets face it: getting a chip at 4GHz stable on air cooling is as pointless as making it run at 7GHz: it doesn't make a difference in daily computing nor does it guarantee that other people can run at that frequency as well.

Should we complain about the climate as well? People in Siberia DO have an unfair advantage, don't they.

we will now have maybe a fortnight of 'clocks' that are unrealistic even to a dedicated Overclocker, who has spent a lot of time and money on his set up.

Please, point me towards the dedicated overclocker who has spend thousands of dollars on Ph-II 955 chips to find the real gem. Whereas overclockers around the globe are spending rediculous amounts of money on i7 chips, almost no one buys more than 5 955's to test on LN2.

interesting to a small minority of clockers, yes, to the masses who overclock...no
