Core Duo Overclocked to 3.8GHz

[dlewis23]

Faithful Macenstein reader rico has turned us on to a posting over at Cooling Masters which claims to have successfully over-clocked a Core Duo (T2600) chip to as high as 3.8GHz. (Or at least we think that

sounds like the core duo is a sweet piece of kit. (if those numbers are true) the benchmarks on the apple site comparing the new core duo equiped boxes with the old powerpc ones look pretty slick too.

btw, that 20" iMac is awesome. i wants one. (but with options it's on the far side of 2k.bucks. ouch.)

the problem with macs is that they are way to exensive

Just saw the D805 2.66ghz dual core can go up to 4.1ghz.. $129 chip out preforms anything else on the market.  Take a look at tom's hardware that is where I found the article..

This is gonna make some great competition between intel and amd.

. . .anyone have this baby?

the only problem is that it requires a $200 + motherboard to get those types of seed and it looks like the new DDR2 memory running at really high speeds.. but it would be a cool project for someone who is looking to build a new computer..

BTW here is the mid-range buyers guide for consumers pre AM-2..

for the money that you have to put into it, i don't see the benefit.

the fastest computer on the block.. processors are not going to reach the 4.1ghz mark any time soon..
