There's going to be an awful lot more overclocking out there

Last year, I told the story of overclocking being the source of a lot of mysterious crashes and that some of those overclocked machines were overclocked at the store. These machines came from small, independent shops rather than the major manufacturers. Well it looks like that’s about to change.

Gateway’s FX530 Desktop can be ordered overclocked by the manufacturer.

Just say no to DIY overclocking and let us do it for you! We’ll factory overclock your Intel® quad-core processor.4 Yep, you read that right: factory overclock, which is something that most other major PC manufacturers don’t do.

We live in interesting times.

Raymond has been involved in the evolution of Windows for more than 30 years. In 2003, he began a Web site known as The Old New Thing which has grown in popularity far beyond his wildest imagination, a development which still gives him the heebie-jeebies. The Web site spawned a book, coincidentally also titled The Old New Thing (Addison Wesley 2007). He occasionally appears on the Windows Dev Docs Twitter account to tell stories which convey no useful information.
