When it comes to the world of computers, there are enthusiasts and then there are enthusiasts. What separates the two is about 1GHz of extra, raw processing power and benchmark results very few computer users will ever experience. Overclockers are at the heart of the the most extreme enthusiasts. Th...
Overclocking is nothing new to the enthusiast community, but it seems that it has become increasingly popular as many found out about it and that overclocking can be done on a rather small budget.
