Personally, I think overclocking is nuts. Then again, I can't afford to willy nilly replace CPUs, due to an error on my part.

With my income and budget, it will take me 2.5 to 3 years to acquire all the parts for a dual dualcore Opteron workstation.

I am currently in the parts acquisition process of building an AM2 dualcore, which will be running XP Pro 32 bit Retail, and I won't assemble it, until I have all of the parts.

I will take performance as is on both.
