Just deleted my Newegg shortcut by John Doe
I know this will rub some people the wrong way, but... I don't know what Newegg's problem is. For a year or more, Newegg is the only website on the Internet that is screwed up in my Firefox browser. Yes, I know some people use Firefox and it looks fine, but that doesn't mean anything to me,...

It is a Q6600, but the seller claims it overclocks to 3830 MHz with this butchering. That would be 11.5 x 333 MHz ... hmmm do you believe it? How would...
