Nicely Done

Nothing............ it says from this website you can get a pentium D 805. Which apprantly is the new king of overclocking.... trouncing the opteron on the fact that it can run 3.8ghz on air and 4.3 on water :D

We bought an Intel Pentium D 805 from a local retail outlet and overclocked it up to 4.1 GHz, even though this part runs by default at just 2.66 GHz. This represents a heretofore unattained clock rate increase of just over 54 %, for which only some additional cooling is required. The secret is in the FSB clock rate, which is raised from 133 MHz to over 200 MHz; the system remains completely stable, because modern motherboards with Intel 9xx chipsets are laid out to handle FSB clock rates of up to 266 MHz. In language that overclocking enthusiasts will love to hear, the Pentium D 805 ascends to the throne as the new King of overclocking, knocking out the AMD Opteron 144.

Well if your into overclocking then yes. AM2 is a waste of money right now with the performance benefits being less than 5%. I mean £80 for a CPU that will beat others priced £600... what more incentive do you want to overclock
