SSE3 has nothing to do with overclocking...it over clocks better because its SOI.

I think he was referring the "will run a wee bit faster at stock speeds" to SSE3 support. He didn't mean that BOTH "it will overclock better" AND "run a wee bit faster at stock speeds" are due to SSE3, just the part about running faster at stock speeds.

Should I go with the SATA II or with the SATA 150 for my HDD? I think I read somewhere that it?s a waste of money. Also should I wait any longer to see if my 6600GT would drop in price? I haven?t seen a price drop. Has anyone?

What do you think?
