Didn't I heard somewhere that processors with a clock speed too high like the high 3 GHz could have hardware issues due to compacted circuits? I think I read something similar before about the earliest 1 TB harddrives.

I thought it was cooling problems.
See video for 7Ghz overclocked AMD CPU.

That's what I'm talking about. Also, smaller transistors are ever more leakier, so each transistor needs more power to push the 1s over the higher threashhold, which has to be set above the maximum possible leakage.

I don't even want to know how many watts of heat that CPU was putting out.

At least nvidia didn't go the way of the FX 5800 when designing the cooler.

I need to get a copy of windows 2K - XP is just too much for my older computers.
Also, I am building a computer for my birthday now, but a GTX 590 would be my whole budget down the drain :P I'll probably get a GTX 460 768mb - they're a real steal right now at $150.
* fb39ca4 hopes someone will get him a GTX 590 for his birthday

EDIT:
* fb39ca4 also wishes someone would get him a power supply big enough for that card :P
e]


I would use Windows XP but 32-bit XP only recognizes 3.5GB of RAM, while W2k Professional recognizes all 4.
