    Sorry if it's old, but I searched and found nothing.

    Massive overclockability on the conroe chips. Can't say I'm surprised since it has such damn low temp/volts.

    :eek:

    10 seconds. I've seen Pentium D extreme editions overclocked to almost the same, and do it in like 27 seconds.


    Can someone tell me why intel was retarded enough to go along with the Netburst crap? They probably held the company back so god damned much with that crap. We might be on Conroe 2 by now, dabbling in the terraflops.

    Ah right, well, I only discovered this forum today, but I found that link ages ago. I thought it was under 10 seconds, but I didn't have the link saved, so I googled and it said 10 :D
