Re:Complete destruction (Score 1)

Most new machines can have their hardware shot to hell by a malicious program. With mine you can overwrite the soldered-in BIOS chip (goodbye mainboard), grossly overclock the processor and video cards, and even crank up the processor voltage and shut off the fans. True, all this is very handy for tweaking, but some kind of manual override would be nice. So far I haven't heard of a virus that does more than kill the BIOS, but I'm sure some [cr/h]acker will come up with one soon.
