I don't get why you need to overclock?? (ok my old system was a celeron2 E series 2.2ghz clocked to a stable 4.0ghz)

anyhow my latest machine is
Intel i5 650 @3.2ghz
4gb RAM
NVidia GT460 2gb
1.5tb H/D (non ssd as these are still too new for me  :smiley:)

Runs everything I need it too (and more!)

and my older machine
Intel Celeron2 E5500 2.2ghz (clocked to 4.0ghz)
OCR Ram 3gb (1x2gb & 1x1gb)
Asus Geoforce 9800GT 512mb
all running on 32 bit Vista (hence the lowish ram)

Overclocking is great.  It's extra power for free :afro:

no different from tuning your car, except you're getting free power for nothing*

This Phenom won't overclock for sh!t.  Tried everything and it won't go above 3.5Ghz.

Consider an envy from the US or Hong Kong etc, as the specs availabel when I looked a few months back were far better for simmilar money.

Envy's are good but I got this DV6 at a nice price.

Are they? never use them as I don't get on with them, always use a small USB mouse.
