Somethin cpu/cache/ram intensive scales linearly up with
overclocking. A glibc src.rpm or kernel 'make bzImage', 'make
modules' compile for examples. Most all benchmarks. OTOH, I've
always overclocked mostly like mountain climbers say, "just 'cause
its there". Besides, now'adays if your hardware isn't
overclockable, you probly should'na bought it to begin with ;) If
it isn't clockable, it probly won't run all that well at the specs
the 'makers' set out. Dell is a good example ;>
