    FUNNY!!!

    This was taken and edited by me a few years ago. My friends and I were tubing and one had never done so before. It becomes obvious and you'll see why. Needless to say, we had been drinking heavily and were pretty lit (this was ~noon). Pass it on...Enjoy http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w-vfzWFjbSY

    Opty 175 OC

    There doesn't seem to be a lot of data out there for this stepping and from what I have been able to get out of it, it doesn't seem to be as good as some of the other steppings. Anyone else have one? What speeds are you getting and at what voltage? Right now, I am stable @ 2655 at 1.35v x...
