Hey, im curious as to what AMD processor is best for overclocking (best results) at the moment? From what ive read its the 5000+ black edition? Im also in search of a motherboard suitable for overclocking, ive been looking at the asus workstation board but this is pretty expensive, what would you recommend? Oh and what is the point in getting memory faster than ddr2 800....as motherboards from what i see do not use faster memory than that.

Thank you for you time and for the great guides on this forum

Because ive always used them....i take it and intel would be better then? though it will cost more

ok, well i will take a look at them......but the black edition AMD 6000+ is still pretty tempting. thanks for advice

an external link says > # 3.7 GHz - > 1.67 v. (not sur if i can post external links if its allowed i will) has anyone achieved that?

a quote "At 3.7 GHz frequency the processor preserved the ability to pass tests. This example clearly demonstrates, that the 10x multiplier in combination with the moderately high overclock limit on the system bus allow to overclock rather well Pentium e2xxx processors series ."
