Default Nehalem allows overclocking!

Intel Nehalem To Allow Overclocking, Some Processors Will Even Encourage It

Oh! MotherFreakin happy day!

First seeing the massive increase in performance clock vs clock comparied to Core2, then seeing the price list isn't that bad at all...and now this? I really hope AMD has something clever up their sleeves because this chip seems like a GIGANTIC leap forward.

Wow this is insane. The long numbers for the ram is starting to get a little confusing but oh well i guess it'll be the norm pretty soon. The same goes for all those cores. lol its mind boggling.

Well cpu speed doesn't have much of an impact on Crysis. It's a gpu limited game
