What would you do, if overclocking wasn't possible? Would you spend the big dollars for the top-speed chip, or just console yourself that a top-end chip isn't in your future?
Likewise, what would you do, if overclocking were illegal? Would you still do it? Would underground "mod-shops" open up, catering to the illegal overclocking trade?
Granted, due to the way that they make and market chips, I don't see overclocking going away anytime soon. If anything, the past two or three years have made it more prominent. Witness ASRock's new 1156-socket boards with an easy 100% overclock switch.
