You’ve got your shiny new Athlon processor. You’ve your new top of line Athlon motherboard that is rock solid in stability and you are ready to push the speed of your system to the limit. Welcome. Welcome to the world of overclocking. That IS what you were getting at, right? I thought so. Even with the highest rated motherboard on the market, and the fastest SDRAM and all of the other prime components in your system, it can only go as fast as the processor allows.
