I lowered the value of my CPU by overclocking!

I have my TBird 1.2 'B' at 1.33 GHz right now (167*8). The funny part is that the lowest price on Pricewatch for the 1.33 GHz part is $72, while the price for the original speed is at $82, and the price of the 1.2 GHz 'C' (266 FSB) is at $92! I guess the supply of 1.2 parts < 1.33 parts. I just thought I would share this funny and ironic bit of info with everyone.

Yeah that's pretty funny. Just a point though, although your clock speed is the same as the "cheaper" part, you still technically have a Tbird 1.2 because the 1.33 GHz runs at a 133 MHz FSB with a 10X multiplier. Had you unlocked the CPU and upped the multiplier, then you would have completely converted your CPU into a "cheaper" one! Although it does look like you unlocked it as a Tbird 1.2 GHz has a 9X multiplier, not 8X (getting the most out of your memory bandwidth I see!).

Either way, good job killing the value of your computer 😛
