i believe that a 6 Ghz is insane also. i believe that it way to fast and that a computer would just over heat and blow up because there would not be a cooling system that could keep that thing from blowing. BTW, i wouldnt mind getting one.

BTW, i wouldnt mind getting one. Appearantly it works.. and there's nothing insane about it, it's just a high clock rate. As long as the thing still work on that high a clock rate, I reckon it's good. Nevertheless I doubt today's architecture is advanced enough for high clock rates like those.. maybe the 64bit architecture that's beginning to sneak into today's market will change that. |

running at that high of a clock rate will most likely cause problems with the PCI bus.
I have also seen somewhere someone that built a computer inside of a mini-fridge and then overclocked it to 7 gig or so. I will see if I can find it anywhere. |

Is there really much point in getting your computer to run at 7 or even 6 GHz? (Besides showing off to everybody you know
 ) There aren't many programs that would need that. Of course it might be nice if you were running your own server from home, but that's about the only use I would have for it.

No there is really no point in overclocking that much. Other than, like you mentioned, showing off. And I guess it is just as good a hobby than anything else. Although bit expensive
That much overclocked systems are not able to run for a long time so server usege is out of question. And besides high clockrate is not the most important factor on server performance. |
