Exactly! Personally, I don't understand the bad vibes against Dave.
BTW, the german magazine C't have a range of testing tools, including some for
testing counterfeit cpu's. If memory still serves me, it's http://www.ix.de/ct .
Anyway, I was trying to get an english spoken overclock-list, with a web page
and an OVERCLOCK-FAQ, up running on our otherwise danish/sweedish usergroup
(1500+ members), but alas, my proposal was found 'a little too thin'; I'm still
trying elsewhere, so any of you guys out there creates such a list, drop me a
note, so we don't have two such lists.
