Current i920 (D0 series) and the right board will get you from rated 2.67GHz to 4.2GHz with no additional
cooling and nominal temps. I got the info (I watched it step by step) - unfortunately, at the last minute,
stability with F@H was SO GOOD, and the latest incarnation of Fista was viewed superior for Media Center,
that in the process of creating it - "we" lost a 20 year Mac enthusiast.
I strongly opted for the above processor @ ~~~$250 vs dual i965s at $1800/pair. Solution (as designed)
came in $5k less. Great decision making by machine owner along the way, and overclocked the board, cpu
and RAM to 2100MHz with NO problems.
I want to do it without considering even having a safety boot to WinANYTHING. Perhaps one day soon.
4.2GHz without additional cooling beyond stock - nominal temps - on a 2.67GHz CPU? And surviving a
week++ of Folding @ Home on all cores??
That's impressive.
