Bypassing Intel's Overclock Limit Reveals DDR2-667
BatonRogue writes "Slashdot posted a Tomshardware article talking about Intel's 10% overclock limit on their new chipsets not too long ago. The situation has just become even more interesting. AnandTech just posted a roundup of DDR2 memory that sheds some light as to why Intel may have implemented the lock. It seems that on the Abit board they tested, which supposedly bypasses the overclock limit, the first generation of DDR2-533 memory modules had no problems working at 667MHz. Could it be that Intel is keeping DDR2-667 support for yet another revision of their new chipsets even though the memory support is clearly here today?"
Like he did.
Karma: Terrible - and proud of it!
It's just another gimick to make more money from Intel. First they 'rename' all of their processors to confuse (uninformed) consumers about what they are really buying, and by 'hiding' features in one version of their processors so that it will be considered groundbreaking in the next version.. crap I tell you. Gotta love Anandtech.

You can no longer link directly to that picture, idiot. It redirects you to the front page. It was fun while it lasted, though.
Let's have a toast to Nick Berg's, Paul Johnson's, and Kim Sung Il's severed heads.

That's right. All your base.
