Review


"Speaking of overclocking, I can't help but be incredibly impressed by the results we saw here. While reaching 2.8 GHz with an Athlon 64 has been done before, I don't know if the same can be said about not having to increase the voltage or upgrade the cooling. The really hardcore overclockers are surely reading this, licking their lips, with their phase change coolers in one hand, and the other hand on their mouse searching for a Venice CPU to buy. Who could pass up a 40% frequency overclock for basically nothing?!?"

Very nice. More motivation to waste my money and upgrade to a new system when I don't need to.
