mh what's funny is any processor can be overclocked to any frequency (that the mainboard supports anyway) as long as the power supply can power it and the cooling system can cool it sufficiently enough. (Whoo! Liquid nitrogen!)
Having a processor with that high of a frequency clock is pretty redundant considering the fact that most consumer-level north/south bridges, memory, hard drives, and graphics cards (maybe) are not even close to being able to meet that power level (9001) and will thus bottleneck the processor. Either way, it's typically better to have more cores than more per-core processing power, unless, well, you have a lot of cores
and a lot of per-core processing power.

I think that if AMD used hyper threading on any of their CPU's then they could easily beat intel at anything. additionally i cant wait to see the results of their next generation of FX processors.
So what you're basically saying, or rather confirming here is that Intel's tech does indeed surpass that of AMD?

Heh, just like Microsoft and Apple! @8o()

Your card isn't fast enough.
In terms of benchmarks, your graphics card is the lesser of almost every other one of its kind. (Every one of its kind being every one in its "family" of GT 520s.)
Heh, by the way, don't ever attempt arguing that AMD is better than Intel with someone from a place such as Tom's Hardware (for example); you'll be vacuumed away, if that's a good enough way to put it.
