hey we're not running business machines here. you would probably get your bowtie in a knot if i told you i'm overclocking my cpu and video card. if it breaks you get to go buy MORE.go ahead take the safe route,that's your prerogative but don't tell someone who is doing what you say can't be done. i say tweak your machine to the max,play with it and learn something. if you're happy with your head in the sand,good for you.
