You can't overclock an FX that much, because they have already got to the peak. Maybe up to 3GHz if you have very good cooling.

Yeah, FX is like the Intel Extreme = pricy!!. FX has an unlocked multiplier, and some say that the memory controller has some tweaks than the regular Athlon64.

Few months back I bought a Aopen DVD writer and I used it only 2 days, it got spoiled... and I went to the vendor, he looked at it and said to the hardware guy.. "Hey here is another one, check this!!" so I guessed that's normal for that shipment.. afterwards I bought a SONY and it still works, but lost faith on "Aopen" brand!!!

Asus have failed on me
Philips have failed on me
Prolink have failed on me
Sony have failed on me

    Mercury is crap. Their cases are ok I guess, but still the power supply is crap!

    :lol:

    Gigabyte = burned video card after warranty has expired, not so good motherboard, cousin's and a friend's Rs.22,000 motherboard failed after warranty expired, crapped up DVDRW
    Asus = two DVD ROMs
    Sony = CDROM - twice
    Philips = monitor cable crapped out + flyback burned
    Prolink = monitor cover cracked!
    Samsung = DVDRW couldn't write any DVDs
    Creative = CDROM crapped out

    I got Gigabyte DVDRW replacing the Samsung DVDRW. Prolink monitor is also replacing the Philips monitor. Sony CDROM is replacing the Creative CDROM. I sold most of them however.

    I am actually surprise that Intel motherboards are in the second place. They are not good at all. Only good for low end PCs for offices where you don't normally try to play with the settings.

    Did u notice ads for Core 2 Duo pc's on sunday newspapers, there were a lot! Sort of weird, 3-4 ads for pc's suddenly!

    But those scumbags are selling them with 512MB RAM (or even 256MB), 80GB HDD, onboard video etc. :angry: :angry:

    Who said I need an iMac or MacBook? :confused:
    And most importantly, why would I need one? I have almost all the hardware that comes in an apple, except their cool designs. I can install OSX on my PC is I wanted to.

    However, I can't remember the Sri Lankan agents of Apple Computers. :(
