Thanx Scott and Roberrt, I've been waiting for this one.

Talk I OVERCLOCK

quite a lot !

Set the Alarm Clock for two hours later than I should get up, figgerin I won't get up anyways. Then I set ot for an hour after that--for the special feeling of getting more sleep !

But on Weekends, daBoss is around--and she has all kinds of tricks to get me out of bed.

Never figured out how to OVERCLOCK a CaaT

And now having drank two mugs of coffee , I'm going back to sleep.

Hey ! Anybody have a Darryl Strawberry Alarm Clock ? They were sold at Bloomingdales.

DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOG

Ok, surreal,
tell us more about the
BooK of Overclocking ....the plot, the main characters,
and who owns da movie rights...

Believe me it's hard to get a book published.
I have four in mind.

I'll check it out at Amazon.

I've built several machines but having never overclocked before, I wanted to learn as much as possible before attemping it. Not only did this book walk me through the step-by-step process, but it gave me specific advice for my exact processor models/speeds in terms of how far I should try to push them, cooling recommendations, voltages, etc. I highly recommend it
for anyone that wants to learn how to overclock or how to overclock better.

ps..
I hear DeNero will be playing Scott in the movie.

Might there be any further word on this book?

What I'm wondering is, (to those of you who have read it) do you consider this book understandable to the average guy?

Knot, here is a quick sample from our publisher's website:

Hope this helps,

Huh! This isn't a scary book at all!

The language looks to be about normal conversation, plus it looks as though the concepts are explained in an "overlap" style--favoring different approaches to explain a concept so the reader gets it.

Glad there's lotsa pics, as well. I think I'll check this out. Thanks, Rob...
