Yeh, only just.. lol
Also, could someone please remind me why we care about how many GHz you can reach? I mean, it's not all that much of a performance gain, plus it'd be pretty unstable under heavy usage..

It's like getting a car with a crazy braking system that can handle super high speeds, but the engine maxes out at 60mph.. lol

Well, you're right, I probably would've posted it if it was AMD, but I still stand by my point that it's pretty useless.. lol
