Overclocking was originally popular among people as a method of getting more juice with zero or minimal costs. Say, now this motherboard is over US$300. A person who's having a Core2Duo E6300 with a normal motherboard can spend that US$300 on a 2.4GHz Core 2 Duo. In few months, the 2.67GHz Core 2 Duo will have this price tag. So, one might think it's better to buy the CPU because it will guarantee the speed of 2.4GHz or 2.67GHz. But you might not be able to overclock the E6300 to that speeds, because an overclocked speed it not guaranteed.However with Core 2 Duos, one can be 99% sure that he/she can hit 2.8GHz or more on E6300. That's another story.</blockquote>
