I was under the impression that over-clocking erroded the
electronics at a microscopic level... (A hidden cost so to speak...)

I disagree... at least for the apps that matter to me. But only time
will answer that. For me Quad is the value choice. In fact, I am
thinking about a Xeon Dual Quad, which is really off the

I am surprised that anybody is still screwing around with

adding in the added risk that comes from overclocking.
I encode raw HD transport streams to H.264 on my
It can but IMHO the risk is low. The issue is that as the feature
size in processors got smaller and smaller you start getting
friction (for lack of a better word) of the electrical current.
This can indeed erode the pathways in the chip and can lead to
degradation.
However most of Intel's chips

still very much alive and very much worthwhile.

They are. It's all in binning. At the beginning of a new design or new
process, generally, the trouble is getting enough parts that qualify for the
top speed bins. Chips that fail the top grade are generally re-rested at all
bins the manufacturer has, going into the appropriate bin that it
Overclocking a CPU is has never been my worry, intel cores since the late 90's
through today (with the exception of that turd Prescott) overclock with little
effort - the problem has always been the supporting cast. Overclocked memory is
in my experience much more sensitive and unstable at
