I don't know if you guys have read this: http://scientiasblog.blogspot....y-of-overclocking.html
I found it interesting, but overall I didn't agree with it at all. Consumers don't come to anandtech. If you read the first paragraph of any review and don't understand, you quickly will know you don't belong here.
I don't see how sites "blurring the line of what consumer products are able to get off the shelf and adding overclocking into it WITHOUT warning the consumer of the drawbacks... and leading to completely different conclusion."
Not to mention, most sites give you stock results as well, then they share the overclockability of the chip in question. Honestly I thought the site was an AMD fanboy site, especially if you read the comments. Where someone posted benchmarks showing the Athlon spanking some other chips.
Anyhow, CNET, Consumer Reports, etc. Those are the placed REAL consumers go to for what to buy. They aren't reading technical reviews on the processor they are going to possibly have in their Dell.
What do you think?
