Especially if you take into account all the knuckleheads that fry their CPU because they don't really now what they're doing.
He said that even if AMD introduced so called "clock limiting" technology on its CPUs, it is virtually impossible to prevent overclocking in other ways.
"There are some ways to overclock which CPU manufacturers simply can't get round," he added. µ
This is a very good point. To the novice user, there's no difference in a FSB overclocked P4/Athlon or a multiplier overclocked P4/Athlon. In both scenarios the user will probably never know...until the BIOS is somehow reset.
