Overclocking is good? (Score:5, Insightful)
I remember when chip stability was a feature of production equipment. I suppose some people like to use more power and get more from their chip, but when the company does it for you, is it really "over" clocked? I presume it doesn't invalidate the warranty. If it doesn't, then its simply a marketing buzzword gimick, giving you underpowered chips, and eeking out more than they are best suited for.
